100% private. Your file is processed in your browser with ffmpeg (WebAssembly) and is never uploaded. Big or long files take longer and use more memory — for those, trim first.

How to Use the GIF to MP4 Converter

Three steps, all in your browser.

1

Load your GIF

Drag an animated .gif onto the box or click to choose one.

2

Convert to MP4

Click Convert. The frames are encoded to H.264 video — the same animation at a fraction of the file size.

3

Download the MP4

Preview and download the .mp4, ready to post where video autoplays and loops.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert a GIF to MP4?
Load your animated .gif and click Convert. The tool encodes the GIF’s frames into an H.264 MP4 in your browser, then lets you preview and download it. Nothing is uploaded.
Why convert GIF to MP4?
Animated GIFs are limited to 256 colours and are surprisingly large. An MP4 of the same animation is typically 5–10× smaller with better colour, which is why platforms like X and Discord convert GIFs to video behind the scenes. Doing it yourself means faster pages and smaller uploads.
Will the MP4 loop and autoplay like a GIF?
On most modern platforms and in HTML, a short muted MP4 autoplays and can be set to loop, giving the same effect as a GIF. In your own pages, use a <video> tag with the autoplay, loop and muted attributes.
Is my file uploaded to a server?
No. Conversion runs entirely on your device with ffmpeg compiled to WebAssembly, so the GIF is never uploaded, logged or stored, and it works offline once the page has loaded.
Does the MP4 have sound?
No. GIFs contain no audio, so the resulting MP4 is silent. That’s expected and is why GIF-style MP4s autoplay on platforms that block sound by default.
