Frequently Asked Questions
How do I turn an image into a GIF?
Use a media file converter (or an image to GIF converter, specifically) to turn an image into a GIF. Keep in mind: the quality of your image will be adjusted during the conversion process. If you want to make sure your GIF is high quality, you can use the online image converter Kapwing offers for free.
Is JPG or GIF better quality?
Because it is a still image, JPG is almost always better quality than a GIF file. GIF files contain multiple frames to create movement whereas a JPG (or a photo) is only one frame.
What is a good image size for a GIF?
A good image size for a GIF is any square ratio (1:1) or 480px by 480px. This is because your content will fit most platform size requirements while still maintaining the high quality of your content. If you need to resize your image for a GIF, you can use the image resizer offered by Kapwing for free online.
