GIF's 256-color palette made sense decades ago for simple web graphics, but it's a poor fit for photos and modern imagery, producing banding and larger files than formats built for photographic content. Folders of static GIF images are usually best converted to JPG, PNG, or WebP for better quality and compatibility.

Does this convert animated GIFs frame by frame?
The converter is built for static image conversion; for animated GIFs, the app processes the image data as a still frame source.
Why do GIF images look banded or blocky compared to JPG?
GIF is limited to a 256-color palette, which can cause visible banding in photos and gradients that a full-color format like JPG or PNG avoids.
Can I batch convert a whole folder of old GIF graphics at once?
