Looking to convert GIF to THM? Here's the honest answer — and what works instead.

There's no real "convert GIF to THM" — a THM file is simply a JPEG thumbnail a camera writes alongside a photo or video.

About THM files

1

THM is a JPEG with a different extension

A .thm file is a small JPEG thumbnail cameras save next to a photo or video so devices can preview it quickly. Its contents are identical to a JPG — only the extension differs.

2

Nothing needs converting to it

Because THM is created automatically by the camera, there's no use case for turning a GIF into one. If you have a THM, just rename or convert it to .jpg to view it.
