How to use GIF to MP4 Converter

- Choose how many times the animation plays, the quality and the fill color for transparent areas.
- Press "Convert to MP4".
- Preview the video and download the MP4.
Worked example
Convert a 6 MB GIF with Standard quality and 3 plays. The status line shows the GIF size and the MP4 size with the percent difference, and the MP4 plays in the preview before you download it.
When to use this tool
- Posting an animation where GIF uploads are too large.
- Using a GIF in a video editor or slideshow.
Important limitations
MP4 has no transparency, so transparent areas are filled with white or black. The MP4 is silent.
Frequently asked questions
Why convert a GIF to MP4?
An H.264 MP4 of the same animation is usually many times smaller than the GIF and has full color instead of 256 colors. Many sites and apps upload MP4 more reliably than large GIFs.
Why does the MP4 not loop by itself?
Unlike GIFs, video files do not store a loop setting; the player decides. To play the animation more than once in the file itself, choose 2, 3 or 5 times.
What happens to transparency?
Standard video containers do not store transparent pixels, so transparent areas are filled with white or black, whichever you pick.
Does it have sound?
No. GIFs have no audio, so the exported clip is silent.
Is my GIF uploaded?
No. The conversion runs in your browser with FFmpeg.
