Convert GIF
The first frame of a GIF. Animation is not written back. Every pair below runs in the browser. The file is not uploaded. Stills use jSquash (MozJPEG, OxiPNG, WebP, AVIF) and the canvas in this tab. There is no upload bar because there is no server to receive the bytes.
This hub is the index, not the workbench. Each conversion is its own URL so a search for “GIF to something” can land on a page that only does that job. The file picker on those pages expects GIF when you are leaving this format, or produces GIF when you are arriving. A generic dropdown still exists under Video convert and Audio convert if you would rather pick the destination after you drop the file.
You can check the same way on every pair: open the network panel, drop a GIF file, convert it. You should see this origin. You should not see a POST of the file. Google Analytics, if it is on, is page views — not your GIF bytes. If a tool needs a server, it is not on this site.
This site can read it. Encode is not offered. Engine: canvas.

Convert to GIF
I do not write GIF. The hub exists so you can see what I will decode instead of promising an encoder I do not have.
