Choose a GIF
Drag in an animated GIF. It shows in the page.
Free tool
GIF to MP4 converter.
Turn an animated GIF into a video, an MP4 that is often far smaller, plays smoothly and is accepted where GIFs are not. The timing of every frame is kept. It runs in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.
This runs in your browser. Your GIF is never uploaded.
How it works
Three steps, nothing to install.
02 / Pick
Choose how often it plays
A GIF loops forever; an MP4 plays once. Repeat it a few times if you like.
03 / Save
Convert and download
The frames are encoded as H.264. Play the MP4, then download it.
Questions
Good to know.
Is my GIF uploaded?
No. It is converted in this tab with your browser, so it never leaves your computer.
Why turn a GIF into an MP4?
An MP4 is usually much smaller than the same GIF and shows full colour, because a GIF keeps every frame as a picture with at most 256 colours. Many sites and apps also take MP4 where they do not take GIF.
Will it loop like the GIF?
An MP4 plays once unless the player loops it. Pick how many times to repeat it, or set your player or site to loop.
What happens to see-through parts?
MP4 has no transparency, so see-through parts get the background you pick, white or black.
Is the timing kept?
Yes. Each frame lasts as long as in the GIF. Like browsers, very short delays under 20 milliseconds are shown as 100 milliseconds.
Which browsers work?
Current Chrome, Edge and Safari, which can encode H.264 video.
