JPEG to GIF

Both JPEG and GIF image formats use compression for storing images, but they differ by their compression methods.

• JPEG is best suited for photographs, including portraits. In addition to a high degree of compression, this format provides the best visual image presentation. JPEG's notable shortcomings are its lack of support of transparency (alpha channel) and poor quality of high-contrast images.
• The GIF format uses a lossless compression algorithm. If you need to reduce the file size without sacrificing color information, GIF might be your choice. GIF files are often used for making simple animations, including animated smilies. The GIF format is ideal for web designers, especially because it lets them create small files and supports transparency.

Image Assistant lets you convert JPEG images to GIF in one click. You can also batch-convert multiple files. In the batch mode, you can apply multiple operations to images, such as rotation, color correction, watermarking, cropping, and so on.
