Drop a JPG, PNG, WebP, or other supported input within the size limit.

Run the conversion

Download the result

Save a GIF file and open it in your target app to confirm it looks right.

When to convert

Use Image to GIF for CMS requirements, email clients, Apple/Android photo workflows, or print pipelines that demand a specific format. Convert a sample first if color accuracy matters.

Privacy

Do not upload IDs, medical images, or private photos you are not comfortable sending over HTTPS. Strip EXIF when location privacy matters.

Troubleshooting

If conversion fails, confirm the file is a real image (not a renamed PDF), under the size limit, and not corrupt. Retry with a smaller export from your camera or editor.
