How to convert GIF to MP4
- Drop your GIF into the box.
- Choose how many times the animation should play in the video (a GIF loops, an MP4 plays once).
- Click Convert to MP4 and download the video.
Why convert GIF to MP4?
- Smaller: MP4 compresses animation far better than GIF — often 80–90% smaller.
- Better colours: GIF is limited to 256 colours per frame; MP4 isn't.
- Upload anywhere: Instagram, TikTok and many forms accept MP4 but not GIF.
How it works
Every frame of the GIF is decoded and encoded to H.264 with your browser's built-in video encoder (WebCodecs), using each frame's own timing. Transparent areas become white.
Frequently asked questions
Is my GIF uploaded?
No. The video is encoded in your browser.
Which browsers work?
Recent Chrome, Edge, Safari and Firefox have the video encoder this tool needs.
Why is there no transparency?
MP4 video can't be transparent, so transparent pixels become white.
