FORMAT KNOWLEDGE

What happens when GIF becomes JPG?

LokalPix decodes the first frame of the GIF and encodes it as lossy JPG. Transparency and animation are lost.

GIF

256 colours and animation

GIF stores up to 256 colours from a palette and supports frame animations. Transparency is possible as a simple on/off flag.

JPG

Lossy and compact

JPG encodes photographs with lossy compression and produces significantly smaller files than GIF. It supports full 24-bit RGB colour depth but no transparency or animation.

IMPORTANT

First frame only — animation lost

LokalPix exports only the first frame of the GIF as JPG. All other frames, timing data, and transparency are lost.

FORMAT IN DEPTH

GIF and JPG compared

Technical background on GIF-to-JPG conversion.

How GIF is structured

GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) uses LZW compression and an indexed colour palette with up to 256 colours. Animations consist of multiple frames with configurable delays.

When converting GIF to JPG makes sense

JPG supports full 24-bit colour depth and produces smaller files than GIF for photographs and natural images. For upload forms that do not accept GIF, JPG is the practical choice.

What transparency in GIF means

GIF supports simple 1-bit transparency: pixels are either fully transparent or fully opaque. JPG does not support transparency — transparent pixels receive a white background during export.

What is lost during conversion?

GIF animations are not exported. Only the first frame is saved as JPG. Transparency, timing data, and additional frames are all lost.

FREQUENT QUESTIONS

Questions about GIF to JPG

Answers about quality, privacy, and format limitations.

What happens to animated GIFs?

Animated GIFs contain multiple frames. LokalPix exports only the first frame as JPG. The animation, additional frames, and timing data are lost.

What happens to GIF transparency?

JPG does not support transparency. Transparent GIF pixels receive a white background during export.

Will JPG quality improve the GIF?

Not necessarily. GIF is limited to 256 colours. JPG can represent more colours, but detail removed by GIF palette reduction cannot be recovered.

Are resolution and aspect ratio preserved?

Yes. LokalPix does not intentionally change the pixel dimensions during this conversion.

Which JPG quality should I choose?

90 percent is a practical starting point. A lower value may be sufficient for smaller files.

Can I convert several GIF files?

Yes. Up to 20 files can be processed in one batch and downloaded individually or together as a ZIP archive.
