About the JPG to GIF Converter

Some places still take nothing but GIF: an old forum, a legacy CMS, a piece of software written before WebP existed. Converting a photograph to it means squeezing millions of colours down to 256, and doing that badly leaves skies banded and faces blotchy.

Drop a JPG — or a PNG, WebP or BMP — and the palette is quantised from your own image rather than taken from a fixed table, so the colours that actually matter in this photo are the ones that survive. Choose 256 colours for the best quality or fewer for a smaller file and a deliberately poster-like look, and resize at the same time. The page is honest about the result: it tells you how many colours the original had, and says plainly when the GIF ends up larger than the JPEG you started with, which for a photograph it often does.

Frequently asked questions

Because GIF allows only 256 colours in an image, and a photograph has tens of thousands. Gradients such as skies show the steps. That is a limit of the format itself.
