# Convert to RGB

Convert to RGB allows you to change an image which is either in grayscale or indexed format into a full-color RGB image. When creating images which use low color formats such as GIF, it is often best to save a copy in RGB format so that no information is lost and you can edit the image again later. Be sure to use a GIMP-native format if your image includes transparency and layers.
