GIF to JPG
Pick a moment
JPEG needs a single raster; animated GIFs collapse to one frame (often the first). Use this when platforms ask for a JPEG preview of a meme loop but refuse to render GIF in cover slots.
Artifacts stack
GIF already quantized colors; JPEG adds DCT ringing around former dither patterns—usually acceptable for thumbnails, ugly for text screenshots. Try GIF to PNG when crispness beats bytes.
