About JPG to GIF

JPG to GIF does two jobs. Upload a single photo and you get it back as a GIF at the same size, for the forum or older system that insists on that format: the colors are reduced with dithering so gradients stay smooth, and a PNG with a transparent background stays see-through. Upload several JPG or PNG images and they become the frames of an animated GIF: a before-and-after, a product from four angles or a short slideshow for a chat. HEIC files from an iPhone aren't accepted here, so run them through HEIC to JPG first.

Frames play in the order shown on the page. Drag the thumbnails to rearrange them, or use Sort by name for numbered files. Time per frame decides how long each picture stays up, and Loop forever keeps the animation running. An animation is 480 pixels wide unless you set another Width, and Different shapes decides what happens to pictures of another shape: Pad fits them in without stretching, Crop to fill fills the frame, and Stretch fills it by distorting. Under More options, Boomerang plays forwards and then backwards, and Colours and Dithering trade smoothness for a smaller file. For an animated WebP or APNG, or crossfades, use GIF Maker.

Why use Cubfile for this

  • Full-size single GIFs

    One picture keeps its own size, with smooth dithered colors and its transparency.

  • Photos become frames

    Each image you add turns into one frame of the animation, in the order you set, looping or not.

  • Width and shapes your way

    Choose the width, and pad, crop to fill or stretch pictures of different shapes.

  • Boomerang and colors

    Play forwards and then backwards, and pick the colors and dithering for a smaller file.

FAQ

JPG to GIF: questions and answers

Is this JPG to GIF converter free to use?
Yes. Visitors can make 2 GIFs in total and free accounts 2 a day, with images up to 50 MB each. VIP removes the daily limit and takes up to 50 pictures in a single GIF.
How do I change the speed of the GIF?
Change Time per frame before you start. A larger value keeps each picture on screen longer, and a smaller one speeds the animation up. Boomerang under More options plays it forwards and then backwards for a smooth back-and-forth loop.
Can I convert JPG to GIF without animation?
Yes. Add just one photo and you get a single GIF at the photo's own size. To make it smaller, enter a Width, and 0 keeps the original size.
Why does the JPG to GIF result look less sharp than my photos?
GIF can hold only 256 colors per frame, which is the nature of the format, so photos lose some smoothness, and dithering mixes the colors to keep gradients soft. Animations are also 480 pixels wide unless you set a larger Width. For full color, GIF Maker can make an animated WebP or APNG instead.
Are my photos safe when I convert JPG to GIF?
Yes. They're uploaded over HTTPS, combined in an isolated process and deleted automatically after one hour, along with the GIF. Your pictures are never viewed, shared or sold.
