About this format
When to choose GIF
GIF is limited to 256 colours per image, so photos can look grainier than in other formats. Use it when a system specifically requires GIF. For regular photos, JPG, PNG or WebP will look better. GIF output is scaled to at most 1600 pixels on the longest side.
Questions
HEIC to GIF, answered.
Will this create an animated GIF?
No. Each photo becomes a single-frame, static GIF.
Why do colours look different?
GIF supports only 256 colours per image, so smooth gradients such as skies can show banding.
Why is my GIF limited to 1600 pixels?
GIF files become very large and slow to process at full camera resolution, so HEIC.one limits the longest side to 1600 pixels.
Is there a better format for photos?
Usually, yes. JPG is the best all-round choice for photos. WebP is good for websites.
