GIF to JPE
File Converter

GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) is a widely used image file format that supports both animated and static images. It is particularly noted for its ability to display images with transparent backgrounds and is commonly used for web graphics, memes, and simple animations. However, GIF is limited to a 256-color palette, which makes it less suitable for full-color photographs and detailed artwork.

The "JPE" file extension is a less common extension used for JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) images. JPEG is a widely used image format known for its lossy compression, which significantly reduces file sizes while maintaining a high level of image quality, making it popular for photographs and web images. The "JPE" extension functions the same as the more common ".jpg" or ".jpeg" extensions, and it can be opened and edited with most image viewing and editing software. The reason for the different extensions simply comes down to historical variations and software preferences, and they all represent the same JPEG image format.
