JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Expert Group. It is known for its ability to reduce an image's file size while maintaining a reasonable level of quality, making it easier to share and store digital images. This is achieved through a lossy compression process, which discards some of the data in the original image. JPEG is famous for photographs and web graphics because it balances file size and image quality. JPEG is not ideal for images requiring transparency because it does not support transparency.
A Graphic Interchange Format (GIF) file is a low-resolution bitmapped file format for sharing images online. The file format is suitable for rendering images with limited color space and sharp edges. A GIF image file is animated by joining a single or multiple images into one video. The file format uses an LZW encoding algorithm that discourages degradation and loss of image quality. .GIF file extension has successfully displayed images and generated small, soundless animated videos. The file format is mainly used to illustrate memes on specific topical issues.
To convert files from JPEG to GIF use an online tool that supports mass conversion, like Convertjack. Such a tool transforms single or bulk images at once to save time.
Go to Choose File, and select any JPEG photos you want to convert. If you want to do a bulk conversion, click Choose File and select all the JPEG pics you want to convert.
After uploading the JPEG image, click the “Select Format” button at the center. A drop-down menu will pop up; select GIF.
On the bottom right corner of the display, click the “Convert” button. Your converted GIF file will be ready for download.
Click the “Download” button on the right side of the GIF file, and the converted image will be downloaded. If you convert multiple files, each file will have a “Download all” button in front of it, and you can click each button to download all the converted files.
To save a JPEG file as a GIF file, you first convert it to GIF and then download it.
Instead of converting a file manually from JPEG to GIF, use an online tool like Convertjack to convert the file without losing any details.
After converting the JPEG file, Download the GIF file and save it in the default folder for all your downloads on the desktop or mobile.
One of the advantages of GIF is its compatibility with a wide range of web browsers. It is widely used for animations and simple graphics with limited colors. The main disadvantage of JPEG is its lossy compression method, which can degrade image quality over time. Converting from JPEG to GIF does not retain image quality if the original JPEG is already degraded. Check this JPEG vs GIF comparison to determine which image format best suits your intended use.
