Drop your JPG image into the upload area. PDF.to re-encodes the pixels into the GIF container and gives you the new file in seconds. No account is needed.
Will the JPG to GIF conversion lose detail or sharpness?
+
If GIF is a lossless format (PNG, BMP, TIFF), pixel data is preserved exactly. If GIF is lossy (JPG, WebP, JPEG), we use a high default quality setting that is visually indistinguishable from the source for almost all images.
Does the JPG to GIF converter keep transparency?
+
When GIF supports an alpha channel (PNG, WebP, GIF) and the original JPG had transparency, we keep it. Converting to a format without transparency (JPG, BMP) fills transparent areas with white by default.
Does it preserve EXIF, color profile, and DPI from my JPG file?
+
ICC color profiles and DPI tags are preserved when GIF supports them. EXIF metadata (camera, GPS, timestamps) is stripped by default for privacy; turn it on in PRO if you need it.
Can I convert a vector JPG to a raster GIF (or vice versa)?
What is the largest JPG image I can convert to GIF?
+
Free accounts allow images up to the free size limit. PRO accounts allow much larger images and up to 1 gigapixel per image, which covers large scans and panoramas.
Can I batch-convert JPG images to GIF?
+
Yes — drag a folder of JPG files onto the page. Each is converted independently and zipped into a single download when done.
Will the converted GIF have the same dimensions as my JPG?
+
Yes — pixel dimensions are preserved by default. If you want to resize during conversion, use the GIF resize tool after the conversion finishes.
Is my JPG image private when I convert it?
+
Yes. Uploads are encrypted in transit, the conversion job runs on an isolated worker, and the original JPG plus the resulting GIF are deleted within an hour.
Why is my converted GIF file larger than the original JPG?
+
If GIF is lossless and JPG was lossy (or vice versa), file size will change. PNG (lossless) is typically larger than JPG (lossy) for photographs but smaller for solid-color graphics and screenshots.
Does the JPG to GIF converter handle animated images?
+
If JPG is animated (GIF, WebP, APNG) and GIF also supports animation (GIF, WebP), all frames are preserved. Converting animated JPG to a static target (JPG, PNG) keeps only the first frame.
Can I convert JPG to GIF on my phone?
+
Yes. The converter is mobile-responsive and processes images server-side, so you can convert JPG to GIF from any iPhone or Android device without using local storage.
