Grab a still frame: convert a .gif to a single .jpg in your browser.
Field manual
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. Every byte is decoded and re-encoded on your own device using WebAssembly. If you close the tab mid-convert, nothing has left your computer.
Does my photo's EXIF / GPS location get carried into the JPG?
No. The converter rebuilds the image from scratch in your browser, so the output JPG has no EXIF metadata at all: no GPS coordinates, camera make/model, lens, orientation, or edit history, regardless of whether you started from a HEIC, JPEG, PNG, AVIF, or WebP. That's a privacy feature, not a bug: the only metadata that survives is what's baked into the pixels themselves.
Why do I need a special tool for HEIC?
iPhone saves photos as HEIC, which only Apple devices and Safari can open. On Android, Windows, or desktop Chrome, a .heic file won't load, so this page runs a WASM build of the libheif decoder to read it, then writes a standard JPG.
What formats can I convert?
HEIC, HEIF, AVIF, WebP, PNG, BMP, GIF, JPG, and SVG in, plus PDF (every page becomes its own image). Out: JPG, WebP, or PNG: pick whichever fits where the image will live. Everything is decoded on your device.
Why is my JPG a bit larger than the AVIF/HEIC I started with?
AVIF and HEIC compress far more efficiently than JPEG at the same visual quality. Converting buys you compatibility, not a smaller file; JPG opens everywhere, including apps and printers that can't read the newer formats.
About GIF
GIF is the old internet's animated image format: limited to 256 colors per frame but supported by literally everything, from 1990s browsers to today's email clients. It's perfect for short looping animations, but it's a poor fit for a full-color still photo, where the 256-color limit shows as banding and dithering.
This page converts a GIF to a single JPG. It renders the first frame and writes it out as a full-color JPEG, so you get a clean still image with the full 16-million-color range that JPG supports. If you need a specific frame rather than the first one, note that this tool exports the opening frame of the animation.
Does it keep the animation?
No. JPG is a still-image format and can't hold animation. This tool exports the first frame as a single JPG. If you need the moving version, keep the original GIF.
Why would I convert a GIF to JPG?
When you want a still, full-color image: to use as a photo, to attach where GIF is unwieldy, or to strip the animation and keep just one frame. The output JPG also has far better color depth than the 256-color source.
Will the colors improve?
Yes, in the sense that JPG isn't limited to 256 colors. The image can only be as good as the source, but you remove the palette restriction, so gradients and photos look smoother.
