Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. The entire conversion runs inside your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. Your GIF file never leaves your device.

What happens with animated GIFs?

Only the first frame of an animated GIF is extracted and converted to JPG. The Canvas API captures the image at the moment it is drawn, which corresponds to the initial frame.

Why does my GIF transparency turn white?

JPEG does not support transparency. Any transparent pixels in the original GIF are composited onto a white background before export, which is the standard approach for GIF-to-JPEG conversion.

What quality setting should I use?

For photos and complex images, 80–90% gives an excellent visual result with significant size savings. For simple graphics or icons, 60–75% is usually sufficient. Use 100% only when maximum fidelity is required.

Why is the JPG file smaller than the original GIF?

JPEG compression is highly effective for photographic content. Simple or cartoon-style GIFs may not shrink as much, since GIF's indexed palette is already compact for flat-color graphics.

Is there a file size limit?

The practical limit is your browser's available memory — typically several hundred megabytes. Very large GIFs may be slow to process on low-end devices.
