About GIF to MP4 conversion

A GIF stores every frame as a separate image with no compression between frames, which is why a few seconds of animation can weigh tens of megabytes. MP4 compresses the differences between frames instead, so the same animation typically drops to a small fraction of the size with no visible quality loss. Most social platforms silently convert uploaded GIFs to video anyway — doing it yourself means you control the quality.

How to convert GIF to MP4

Drag your GIF file onto the page, or click to browse. It stays on your device.
Adjust the settings — the defaults suit most clips.
Click convert. The first run downloads FFmpeg (~25 MB); after that it is fast.
Preview the MP4 on the page, then download or share it — no watermark, no sign-up, nothing uploaded.

What people use it for

Shrinking huge GIFs. The same animation as MP4 is often 10× smaller or better.
Social uploads. Platforms that reject or re-compress large GIFs accept MP4 cleanly.
Website performance. A looping muted MP4 loads far faster than the equivalent GIF.
Ad and email limits. MP4 gets you under size caps a GIF blows past.

Tip: the MP4 has no audio track — GIFs don't carry sound. For a silent looping video on a web page, pair it with autoplay muted loop playsinline.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert a GIF to MP4?▼

MP4 files are typically a small fraction of the size of the same animation as a GIF, and they play reliably on social platforms that compress or reject large GIFs.

Will the MP4 have sound?▼

No. GIF has no audio track, so the resulting MP4 is silent. That is expected, not an error.

Is my GIF uploaded to a server?▼

No. Conversion happens on your device using WebAssembly in your browser.

Can I get WebM instead?▼

Yes — switch the output dropdown to WebM. You can also export a single PNG frame if you just want a still.

Is it free?▼

Yes — no account, no watermark, no file-size limit.
