Frequently Asked Questions
Will I lose colors?
GIF is limited to 256 colors, but our smart mapping ensures your images still look great.
Is Image to Gif completely free to use?
Yes, LovetoConvert provides Image to Gif 100% free of charge with no hidden subscriptions, no watermarks, and no registration required.
Is transparency preserved?
Yes. Both image and GIF support an alpha channel, so transparent regions survive the conversion instead of being flattened onto a white rectangle.
Why is my GIF file larger than the image?
Because GIF is lossless and image is not. The converter cannot recreate the detail image already discarded, but it does store every remaining pixel without further compression, which takes more space.
Why do my colours look flat in the GIF?
GIF is limited to a 256-colour palette. Photographs and smooth gradients have to be reduced to fit, which is why they can look banded. GIF is best kept for simple graphics and short animations.
How is my privacy protected?
We treat the upload as disposable: converted to GIF on an isolated worker, then removed within 60 minutes with no archive and no logging of what it contained.
