Convert JPG to GIF images with ease

 

JPEG and GIF image formats

 

Because of their very-good compression capabilities and wide adoption, JPEG and GIF formats are the most widely used image formats on the Internet today. GIF files have an even better compression then JPG files but this comes at a high cost: a limited number of colors per pixel supported, only 256 colors per pixel (8 bits per pixel) compared to JPEG's 16.8 million (24 bits per pixel).

 

The differences in compression and number of colors supported makes the two image formats suited for different applications:

 

• The JPEG format is suited to store digital photographs and colorful pictures (like the box-shot found on this page). The same pictures will display with "visual artifacts" if saved as GIF images;
• On the other hand the GIF format is suited to store images with a limited number of colors like the navigation and button images found on all web-sites. For those images the GIF format is a better alternative than JPEG since it produces a smaller file size.

 

Converting JPG/JPEG to GIF files

 

JPEG images can be converted one by one to GIF files with almost any picture editor but this is not  recommended nor desired when converting dozens or perhaps hundreds of images! Instead a batch JPEG/JPG to GIF converter capable of transforming all images in one go is the best solution.

 

We can convert JPEG/JPG to GIF files easily with BatchPhoto. BatchPhoto is capable of changing image formats for hundreds of pictures in one operation, very fast. You can not only change JPEG to GIF files but also resize, annotate and rename your images at the same time!

 

Your settings can be saved and later applied on batches of pictures without even starting the application, directly from Windows®'s right-mouse-click menu. But why not see for yourself if BatchPhoto is the right tool for your needs? Download and test without any obligations the fully-featured free trial bellow!

Using the program was easy and quick, I really liked the filters it offered me as well as the filename modification. I was also amazed at how many different output types were available. The previews were also found to be excellent.   Ben Goertz, US
