Being two of the most used image formats today, you may need to convert a GIF to JPG for some reason. The simplest way to do so is to use the online file converter tools.
Here, we'll take a look the eight best tools for converting GIFs to JPGs. These enable you to convert files within a few clicks.
Browserling is essentially a tool for cross-browser testing. But it has several simple tools on its website for web developers. One of these is a GIF-to-JPG converter.
On the website, drag and drop the GIF or upload it from your device. Click on the Convert to JPG! button to instantly convert and download the file.
If you’re looking for a simple tool that gets the job done, Browserling is for you. The tool is free to use and doesn’t annoy you with ads. But it converts only the first frame of the GIF into a JPG image.
FreeConvert is a file converter tool that supports multiple formats, including GIF and JPG. You can upload the GIF file from your device, Google Drive, Dropbox, or through any URL. Once you click on Convert to JPG, it converts the uploaded file.
You can then download the JPGs locally, save them to Google Drive/Dropbox, or share them via a QR code. The downloaded ZIP file contains multiple JPGs, one for each frame.
The best part is that it allows you to upload and convert multiple files together. So if you're looking to convert files in bulk, this is surely a great option. It also has advanced options like resizing the converted image, compressing the output, auto-orient, and removing metadata.
FreeConvert limits the file size to 1 GB, but it’s unlikely that you’d exceed the limit. To ensure the safety of your files, it provides 256-bit encryption and deletes the uploaded files after two hours.
Among several other tools, Online-Convert.com has a great tool for converting GIF to JPG.
You can add a GIF from your device, Dropbox, Google Drive, or URL. It lets you add multiple GIFs before conversion. Once the files have been uploaded, click on Start to begin the conversion. The tool creates multiple JPGs from a single GIF.
But the good thing is you can choose which JPGs to download. You can either download all of them as a ZIP file or select ones only. Similarly, you can decide whether to download the JPGs, upload them to the cloud, or share them through a URL.
This tool has various settings options. First, you can decide whether you want to have the best quality image or the smallest one. You can set the quality between these two extremes using the slider.
In addition to these features, you can resize, crop, apply color filters, and specify the resolution of the output. Online-Convert.com has browser extensions (for Chrome and Firefox) and mobile applications for both iOS and Android.
Ezgif.com is a tool for editing and creating GIFs. Using this, you can also convert the GIFs into JPGs easily.
Ezgif.com allows uploading files from both the device and through a URL. But the maximum file size is 50 MB. Select the file, upload it, and Ezgif.com opens its editor. Here, you can crop, rotate, resize, and perform other actions.
For transparent GIFs, you can specify the color to be added to the background. To convert, click on Convert to JPG! It creates a JPG for each frame and shows a preview. You can download them individually or together as a ZIP file.
SodaPDF offers dozens of file conversion and PDF tools, letting you convert GIFs to JPGs too. It ensures the safety of your files, by deleting them automatically from its server after 24 hours.
The process is pretty much the same. It allows you to upload files via your device, Dropbox, or Google Drive. However, SodaPDF, like Browserling, only converts the first frame of the GIF into a JPG, which can be a downside depending on your needs.
While converting the file, it makes sure to maintain the image ratio, standard, and orientation. SodaPDF has a desktop app. So if you’re converting images frequently, it's worth checking out.
