JPG to GIF — When and Why

GIF is the web's native animated format, supported by every browser, email client and messaging platform. Converting a single JPG gives a static GIF with universal compatibility. Adding multiple JPGs creates a looping animation — ideal for tutorials, product demos or social sharing — with no video player required.

Note on Colours

GIF is limited to 256 colours per frame, while JPG photos can contain millions. Colour quantisation will reduce the palette — this is most visible in gradients and photographs. For photographic animations, consider a lower frame delay to reduce the perceptual impact of quantisation.
