About this conversion

A GIF file is usually larger than the JPG original; choose it for compatibility or editing rather than size.

Good to know

The file usually becomes larger.

Quality does not improve; artifacts of the source stay.

How it works

This conversion uses a compact WebAssembly codec that is loaded only when you select a file, and it runs in a background thread.

Your browser can

  • Built-in image codecs
  • Hardware video (WebCodecs)
  • Multiple threads
  • Create AVIF natively

If something is missing, the conversion takes a little longer but still works.

Frequently asked questions

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser with local code. Your files never leave your device, and there is no upload.

Is there a file size limit?

There is no limit on our side, but your browser memory is. Images work for very large files; for videos, files above a few hundred megabytes can fail on devices with little memory.

Will the quality suffer?

That depends on the target format and settings. Use the quality option to balance size and detail; lossless targets keep everything the source contained.

Which browsers are supported?

Current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari. Fast hardware paths are used where available, with a compatible fallback otherwise.
