When you convert GIF to JPG
JPG is universally supported and produces smaller files than GIF for photographic content. Converting GIF to JPG makes sense when you've got a still image stored as GIF (a screenshot, a photograph from an old camera or download) and want it in the modern web-standard format. Or when you've got an animated GIF and need a static thumbnail JPG for a video poster or social-card preview.
JPG doesn't support transparency or animation, so be aware: transparent areas of the GIF get filled with your chosen background colour, and only the first frame is kept.
How it works
The browser decodes the GIF, fills any transparency against your background colour, and re-encodes the result as JPG at your chosen quality. All processing happens locally.
Quality settings
