How to convert an image to GIF for free
Drag your image —JPG, PNG, WebP, BMP or TIFF—, click "Convert" and download the GIF instantly. It works the same for turning a photo, a logo or a screenshot into GIF, with no sign-up and nothing to install.

When should you use GIF?
GIF has the widest historical compatibility. If you need to upload an image to an old system, a legacy forum or a platform with strict format restrictions, GIF is the safest option.
It also supports single-bit transparency and works well for simple, low-color graphics such as icons or flat logos.
GIF, PNG or WebP: which should I pick?
For photos with many colors and gradients, PNG or WebP keep far more quality than GIF, which is limited to 256 colors. Use GIF only when universal compatibility is the main requirement.

Frequently asked questions
Can I create animated GIFs here?
This specific tool converts individual images to static GIF format. It's ideal for guaranteeing compatibility or meeting specific format requirements. For animated GIFs from video, we'll soon add a dedicated tool.
Why use GIF if PNG or WebP exist?
GIF is the format with the broadest historical compatibility. If you need to upload an image to a very old system, a legacy forum or a platform with strict format restrictions, GIF is the safest option.
Is there a loss of quality when converting to GIF?
GIF is limited to a 256-color palette. For complex photographs, there may be a reduction in color gradation (dithering). However, for simple graphics and logos, the result is excellent.
