Converting GIF to MP4
GIF is an animated image with no sound, limited colors and surprisingly large files. Because MP4 is universal, converting GIF to MP4 fixes most compatibility problems: the video then plays on phones, browsers, TVs and social platforms.
Bonus: an MP4 is often 10× smaller than an equivalent animated GIF, while looking smoother.
Conversion runs in your browser with WebAssembly, so your video never leaves your device.
Animated GIF vs MP4: what's the difference?
| Criterion | Animated GIF | MP4 |
|---|---|---|
| Weight | Very heavy | Up to ~10× lighter |
| Colors | 256 max — banding | ~16 million |
| Smoothness | Choppy | Smooth (30 to 60 fps) |
| Sound | No | Yes |
| Social media | Often auto-converted | Native format |
Social networks convert your GIFs to video behind the scenes anyway. You may as well do it yourself: you keep control of quality and file size.

- Publish an animation on Instagram, TikTok, X or LinkedIn.
