Converting GIF to JPG flattens a 256-color palette image into full-color JPG. For GIFs that contain photos (rare but possible), JPG is a better representation. For flat-color GIFs the conversion loses transparency without a quality benefit.

Lossy compression is applied to GIF data that's already palette-quantized, which sometimes amplifies banding artifacts. Alpha transparency flattens to a background color. For animated GIFs, only the first frame typically converts.
JPG is universally supported on every platform ever.
GIF is a 1987 format limited to a 256-color palette. Its lasting relevance is support for simple animation, which kept it in the meme ecosystem after PNG replaced it for static images. GIF compression is lossless within its palette constraints but usually worse than PNG for the same image.
JPG (JPEG) is a 1992 lossy photo format that became the default way to store photographs on the web. It uses a discrete cosine transform plus quantization, tuned so that errors fall where human vision is least sensitive. No transparency, no animation, but excellent for photos at 70–90% quality.
JPG is single-frame only, so animation is lost. The converter typically outputs the first frame. For animated output, use WebP, APNG, or a video format.
For photos, usually yes. JPG handles gradients and continuous tone cleanly. For flat-color illustrations, GIF's palette quantization may actually preserve detail better than JPG's lossy compression.

Yes. The converter runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Your images are never uploaded, never sent to a server, and never leave your device.
There's no hard limit, but because everything runs in your browser you're bounded by available memory. Very large images (over a few hundred megapixels) can hit browser memory limits. Process in smaller batches if you run into issues.
