JPG to GIF: what changes
GIF is limited to a 256-colour palette and is best known for short animations. That small palette makes photographs look banded and the files large, so GIF is worth keeping only for simple, flat-colour motion.
The conversion happens entirely in your browser. Your JPG is decoded with the same engine your browser uses to display images, then the pixels are re-encoded as GIF — so the file never leaves your device, nothing is uploaded, and even large images finish in a second or two.
GIF cannot reproduce the smooth gradients of a photograph, so expect flat, posterised colour — keep GIF for simple graphics and short animations.
