Why Convert GIF to JPG?
Converting GIF to JPG removes palette limitations and enables full-color, lossy compression ideal for photographs. JPG files typically have smaller sizes for complex images and broad compatibility across devices and browsers. Keep in mind that animation and transparency are not supported in JPG; this conversion is best suited for static, photographic content.
