Free GIF to JPG converter online
Need a JPG instead of a GIF? This free converter turns GIF files into JPG images right in your browser. Add as many files as you like, adjust the settings and download the results individually or together as a ZIP.
GIF is one of the oldest image formats still in use. It is limited to 256 colours, so photos look grainy, and transparency is all-or-nothing. It survives because it supports animation everywhere. When you convert a GIF to a still format, FileStripe uses the first frame.
JPG (also written JPEG) is the most widely used photo format in the world. It uses lossy compression that throws away detail the eye barely notices, which keeps photos small, but it cannot store transparency and every re-save loses a little quality. JPG files usually carry EXIF metadata such as the camera model, the date and often the GPS location where the photo was taken.

Frequently asked questions
How do I convert GIF to JPG?
Open this page, add your GIF files, and FileStripe converts them to JPG in your browser. Then download the files one by one or as a ZIP. It takes a few seconds and you don't need to install anything.
Will converting GIF to JPG reduce quality?
JPG is a lossy format, so there is a small, usually invisible, loss. Use the quality slider: 90 or above is visually identical for almost all images, but note that GIF graphics with sharp text may look slightly softer.
Can I convert multiple GIF files to JPG at once?
Yes. Select or drop as many GIF files as you like; there is no limit on the number or size of files.
What happens to animated GIFs?
The first frame of the animation is converted.
Is the GIF to JPG free?
Yes. The GIF to JPG is completely free with no sign-up, no watermarks, no daily limits and no premium tier.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. FileStripe processes your files locally in your web browser using JavaScript. Nothing is uploaded, so the GIF to JPG is safe for private photos and confidential documents and even works offline once the page has loaded.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. The GIF to JPG works in Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Samsung Internet on phones, tablets and computers. On a phone you can pick files from your photo library or files app and share the result straight to another app.
