## How do I convert a file to GIF?

Open a supported conversion below, select the original file, review the available options and select Convert. Download the result before its temporary job expires. Choose PNG when transparency or sharp graphics matter, JPG for photographic delivery, or WebP/AVIF when the destination supports them. Converting an image cannot restore missing detail. Check dimensions, edges and transparency after export.
