Convert GIF to JPEG
Drop your GIF, get a JPEG. The file is processed in memory, returned with its SHA-256 fingerprint, then forgotten — nothing is kept on our servers.

-F "to=jpeg"Files processed on-the-fly in RAM and discarded instantly.
Format verified from header bytes, never trusted from extensions.
Cryptographic hash provided for complete file auditability.
Exact same multipart response from browser or your backend.
Both formats
GIF .gif
Image limited to 256 colours, capable of animation — useful for a short sequence, unsuited to photography.
JPEG .jpg
Lossy compressed image without transparency — the photography format, where file size matters more than the exact pixel.
What this conversion changes
Going from GIF to JPEG is not neutral. What the service can tell you before you drop anything:
- GIF stores transparency, JPEG does not: transparent areas are flattened onto a white background.
- GIF keeps every pixel, JPEG compresses with loss: re-encoding discards detail, and that detail does not come back.
- A GIF can carry several pages; a JPEG carries one. Only the first is returned.
The same conversion, in one line
The browser and your backend call the same endpoint, and get the same response.

Is converting GIF to JPEG free?
Yes, in the browser and without an account. The API has a free quota; a refusal is never counted.
Are my files kept?
No. The file is processed in memory then forgotten. Logs carry only its SHA-256 fingerprint and its size — never its name or its content.
What happens if my file is not really a GIF?
The format is read from the file’s bytes, never from its extension. An unrecognised file gets an explained refusal with a stable code — and that refusal is not billed.
