GIF to MP4 Converter

Convert animated GIFs to smooth, compressed MP4 videos.

Upload a GIF and get an H.264 MP4 that plays on every device and in every browser.

Animated GIFs are inefficient by modern standards. A 5MB GIF can typically become a 300–500KB MP4 with no visible quality difference. The MP4 also plays more smoothly, especially for animations with more than 15 frames per second.

We encode using H.264 with YUV420p color sampling — the universally compatible codec that plays in every browser, social platform, messaging app, and operating system without any plugins.

MP4 files don't loop automatically the way GIFs do. To loop them in HTML, add the loop attribute to the video tag. On social media platforms like Twitter and Instagram, uploaded videos loop automatically by default.

How to use GIF to MP4 Converter

Step 1: Upload your GIF by dragging it onto the drop zone or clicking to browse.
Step 2: Click "Convert now" — the GIF frames are encoded into an H.264 MP4 automatically.
Step 3: Download your MP4 video. It's dramatically smaller than the GIF and plays smoothly on every device and browser.
