About JPEG to GIF conversion
JPEG is same as JPG, just a longer extension and is the interchangeable with JPG for photographs, web images. GIF was created by CompuServe in 1987 and is best for short animations, simple graphics. Converting JPEG to GIF preserves every pixel without compression artifacts — ideal when you need to edit or archive the image. JPEG files can be a problem when their support is limited — converting to GIF solves compatibility issues.
