Converting JPG to GIF: what to know
JPG is converted to GIF when a platform or program accepts only GIF. For an animation from several photos, add them all and choose "Merge to GIF" on the "All files" bar.
GIF holds at most 256 colors, so photos get banding and grain in gradients, and the file is usually larger than the JPG.
JPG or GIF: which to choose?
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)
JPG is the most widely supported photo format: small files thanks to lossy compression, but no transparency.
Best for photos and images for the web, email and messengers where compatibility and size matter most.
GIF (Graphics Interchange Format)
GIF is the classic format for short animations, limited to 256 colours.
Best for short looping animations, stickers and simple graphics.
What happens when converting JPG to GIF
GIF stores the image without loss: the conversion adds no artifacts, but details already lost in JPG compression will not come back, and the file is usually larger.
EXIF metadata, including GPS location, is not copied, and the photo orientation is applied to the pixels.
JPG files up to 256 MB are supported; the actual limit also depends on the free memory of your device.
