JPEG to GIF converter

JPEG is a standard digital image format that uses a type of data compression algorithm to reduce file size. This makes it ideal for web pages, email, and other online media. JPEG files are often identified by the .jpg or .jpeg file extensions. The JPEG format allows for images with millions of colors, though their resolution is usually somewhat lower than other image file types.

The JPEG standard can be adjusted to various levels, allowing the user to trade off image quality for better compression. As such, JPEG can be used in a variety of ways - from low quality display images to high-resolution photographs. JPEG also includes metadata support in the form of markers and comments that allow for photo capture data, descriptions and other information to be embedded in the image.

The GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) is an 8-bit image file format that is widely used to display animation and graphics. It supports up to 256 colors and is often used to display small web graphics for logos or simple animations. It can be used both for static images and for animated images, and generally compresses images better than other image formats.

The GIF format supports data compression, but does not support animation or sound. It is also limited in its ability to provide better image quality than other image formats such as JPEG. However, GIFs are more suitable for use on the web because of their small size and relatively fast loading times.
