About JPG to GIF conversion

GIF was created by CompuServe in 1987 and is best for short animations, simple graphics. Converting JPG to GIF preserves every pixel without compression artifacts — ideal when you need to edit or archive the image. JPG files can be a problem when their support is limited — converting to GIF solves compatibility issues.
