How to convert GIF to JPG or PNG
GIFs are animated images made of multiple frames. Converting a GIF to JPG or PNG saves the first frame as a static image. This is useful when you want to use a GIF thumbnail as a photo, or when a platform does not accept GIF files.
Steps
- Open the Snapfold Image converter.
- Set Convert from to GIF and Convert to to JPG or PNG.
- Drop your GIF file in, press Convert images and save.
Will the animation be kept?
No. The converter saves only the first frame as a static image. If you need to keep the animation, you need a dedicated GIF tool.
JPG or PNG for a GIF frame?
Choose JPG for photos and colorful images — the file will be smaller. Choose PNG if the GIF has a transparent background or sharp text, because PNG keeps those details better.
