Convert GIF to JPG With Adobe Photoshop

Would you prefer to use Adobe Photoshop to complete your conversion? Don't worry - the process is more complicated than when you use PDFSimpli, but we are here to help you use this common type of software to complete this task. Here are the steps you need to take to convert your file from GIF to JPG:

1. Use Adobe Photoshop to open your GIF file. Decide if it is a grayscale or color image, as this will be important in the next step.
2. Open the Image menu in Photoshop. Choose the Mode submenu. From here, select either Grayscale to convert from a grayscale GIF to a grayscale JPG or RGB color to covert a full-color GIF to a full-color JPG.
3. Open the Photoshop File menu and select Save from the options given.
4. Set the drop-down Format menu to JPEG.
5. Click the Save button. This action will open a dialog box called JPEG Options.
6. Set the dropdown Quality menu to a value somewhere between Low and Maximum.
7. Choose Format Options and set them to create a file in either a Progressive, Baseline or Baseline Optimized format. If you want a standard JPG with wide-reaching compatibility, choose Baseline, as the others are less likely to be as user-friendly in most cases.
8. When you are ready to save your GIF as a JPG, choose the OK button.

If you want to save your file as other formats besides JPG, do so before closing Photoshop. Does this all sound very complicated? If so, you may want to stick with PDFSimpli to quickly and easily complete this conversion task without worrying about making mistakes. If you don't already own Photoshop, you will have to purchase or subscribe to it and download it, adding even more steps to your task.
