How It Works
Convert GIF to MP4 in three simple steps
Upload GIF Files
Drop your animated GIF files onto the upload area. Any animated GIF is supported — from memes and reaction GIFs to app demos and tutorial animations. Upload up to 10 GIFs with a combined 100 MB on the free plan.
Choose Settings
Select frame rate (auto matches the GIF's original timing), video quality (CRF 23 is recommended), and loop count (infinite loop works on all platforms). For social media, keep the original dimensions; for web embedding, set a maximum width.
Download MP4
Get an H.264 MP4 video that plays on every platform — Twitter, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, iPhone, Android, all browsers, and desktop video players. The MP4 is typically 80–95% smaller than the original GIF, with identical or better visual quality.

Up to 95% Smaller Than GIF
GIF is one of the most inefficient image/animation formats in modern use. A 10 MB animated GIF typically converts to an 200–500 KB MP4 — an 80–95% reduction — with identical or noticeably better visual quality. H.264 uses far more advanced motion compensation and colour encoding than GIF's 256-colour palette.
Frame Rate Control
Auto mode preserves the original GIF frame timing exactly. Choose 30 fps for smooth, fluid animations; 24 fps for a cinematic look; 15 fps for a smaller file size while maintaining smooth motion; or 12 fps for the most compact output. GIFs commonly use irregular frame delays — the encoder normalises these to a consistent frame rate.
Loop Count
Unlike GIF (which loops natively), MP4 loop behaviour depends on the playback context. Infinite loop is suitable for web embedding with the HTML video loop attribute. Play once is standard for video players and messaging apps. The loop count setting is embedded in the MP4 container metadata and respected by compatible players.
Universal Playback
H.264 MP4 is the most universally compatible video format in existence. It plays natively on iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, all modern browsers (no plugin required), Discord, Slack, Twitter/X, Telegram, WhatsApp, and virtually every video player application.
Quality (CRF) Control
CRF (Constant Rate Factor) controls video quality. CRF 23 (default) produces visually transparent quality indistinguishable from the GIF source for most content. CRF 18 is near-lossless and suitable for archival. CRF 28–33 produces smaller files for thumbnails or previews where fine detail is less important.
100% Private & Secure
All uploads use TLS 1.3 encryption. Files are processed in isolated server containers and permanently deleted within 24 hours. No watermarks are added to the output. We never view, index, or share your files.

Frequently Asked Questions
GIF was designed in 1987 and stores each frame as a separate indexed image with at most 256 colours. It has no inter-frame compression — each frame is encoded independently, making files enormous for longer or complex animations. H.264 (used in MP4) uses block-based motion compensation, storing only what changes between frames, and encodes full 24-bit colour. A typical 10 MB animated GIF becomes a 200–500 KB MP4 — 80–95% smaller with equal or better quality.
Yes — when embedded in a website using the HTML video element with the loop attribute (<video autoplay muted loop>), the MP4 will loop exactly like a GIF. Twitter/X, Discord, and most platforms automatically loop short MP4 videos. In standalone video players (VLC, Windows Media Player), the video plays once unless you set it to repeat manually.
Standard H.264 MP4 does not support transparency. GIF's transparency (one palette colour designated as transparent) will be replaced with a black or white background. If you need an animated format that preserves transparency, convert to animated WebP instead — it supports full alpha transparency at a fraction of the GIF file size.
Twitter/X: MP4 files upload directly as native videos — the platform loops and autoplays them silently, behaving exactly like a GIF but at a fraction of the bandwidth. Discord: drag and drop the MP4 into any channel — it displays as an inline autoplay looping video. Slack: MP4 files upload and display as inline video previews. All platforms prefer MP4 over GIF due to significantly lower storage and bandwidth costs.
CRF 23 (default) is the right choice for almost all GIF conversions — the visual quality is identical to the GIF source on a normal display, and the file is maximally compressed. Use CRF 18 only if you need to archive the animation at near-lossless quality for re-editing. Use CRF 28–33 for low-bandwidth previews or thumbnails where quality is less important than the smallest possible file size.
