What is this tool?
GIF to MP4 converts animated GIFs into H.264 MP4 video — the same trick behind the “GIFs” on Twitter and Reddit, which are actually silent looping videos. MP4 stores motion far more efficiently than the 35-year-old GIF format, so files shrink dramatically while looking identical. The conversion runs on FFmpeg in WebAssembly, entirely on your device.
Common uses
- Shrinking heavy GIFs before putting them on a website — smaller files, faster pages
- Converting GIF memes to video for platforms that prefer MP4
- Reducing GIF email attachments to sendable sizes
- Embedding animations in presentations that don't support GIF playback
FAQ
How much smaller does the MP4 get?
Typically 5–10× smaller than the GIF, sometimes more — MP4 compresses motion between frames, while GIF stores every frame as a separate image.
Will the MP4 loop like the GIF?
MP4 files don't loop by themselves, but every platform that embeds them (websites with the loop attribute, social media, chat apps) plays them in a loop — the preview above does too.
Is the GIF uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser; only the FFmpeg engine (~31 MB) is fetched from a CDN once and cached.
