Drop a GIF and get an MP4 (or WebM) that looks the same and is usually 5 to 10 times smaller. You can also make it repeat a few times. The video never leaves your device. It is read and saved by your browser, so there is no upload, no queue and no copy on a server.
Instagram, TikTok and many other apps won’t take GIFs, but they take MP4. A video is also lighter on a website.
How to convert a GIF to MP4
- Drop your GIF on the box above.
- Pick MP4 or WebM and how many times it should play.
- Press Convert and download the video.
Why the video is smaller
GIF stores each frame almost on its own. Video formats store what changes between frames, which for most animations is a small part of the picture.
Questions
What about transparency?
Video has no transparent pixels here, so transparent areas become white.
Does it work with animated WebP?
Yes, in browsers that can read animated WebP, including Chrome and Edge.
Will the timing stay the same?
Yes, each frame keeps its original delay.
