GIF to Video Converter

Convert an animated GIF into a proper video file (MP4) — smaller and smoother than the GIF. Done on your device; nothing is uploaded.

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 Video Converter

Three steps, all in your browser.

1

Load your GIF

Drag an animated .gif onto the box or click to select one from your device.

2

Convert to video

Click Convert. The animation is encoded to an MP4 video file — the format apps, editors and social sites expect.

3

Download the video

Preview and download the .mp4 video, ready to share, edit or embed.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I turn a GIF into a video?
Load your animated .gif and click Convert. The tool encodes the GIF’s frames into an MP4 video file directly in your browser, then lets you preview and download it. No upload and no sign-up.
What video format do I get?
You get an MP4 with H.264 video — the most widely supported video format. It plays on phones, computers and TVs, imports into video editors, and uploads cleanly to social platforms that don’t accept GIFs as video.
Why convert a GIF to video at all?
A video file is far smaller than the equivalent GIF and has smoother colour. Social networks, messaging apps and video editors treat MP4 as real video — so you can trim it, add it to a timeline, or post it where GIFs aren’t allowed.
Is my GIF uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything happens on your own device with ffmpeg compiled to WebAssembly, so your file is never uploaded, logged or stored, and the tool works offline once the page has loaded.
Will the video have audio?
No. GIFs have no sound, so the resulting video is silent. This is normal and is exactly how autoplaying, GIF-style clips behave on most platforms.
