GIF to MP4
The same animation, in a file up to ten times smaller.
The GIF is a charming format but a terribly inefficient one: a few seconds of animation easily weigh several megabytes. Converted to MP4, the same sequence is typically five to ten times smaller, with identical or even better quality — and it loops just as happily in a web page or a post. Drop your GIF and start the conversion: the tool produces a web-optimized MP4 that plays in every browser and player, and shows you exactly how much weight you saved. The conversion runs entirely in your browser, so your file is never sent to a server. Free, no sign-up, and no limit on how many GIFs you convert.
How does it work?
- Drop your animated GIF.
- Click "Convert to MP4".
- Compare the before/after size and download the video.
Frequently asked questions
Why is MP4 so much smaller than GIF?
A GIF stores each frame almost in full and is limited to 256 colors. Modern video compression only stores what changes between frames: at equal quality, the file is radically smaller — often 80 to 95% lighter.
Does the MP4 loop like a GIF?
Yes: on the web, embed the video with the autoplay, loop and muted attributes and you get exactly the behavior of a GIF, with far faster loading. Most social networks also loop short videos automatically.
Is the quality preserved?
Yes — and it can even look better: MP4 isn't limited to 256 colors, which eliminates the dithering GIFs show on gradients.
Is my GIF uploaded to a server?
No, the conversion happens entirely in your browser. Your file stays on your device.
