What is GIF to MP4?

Convert animated GIF files to MP4 video format for smaller file sizes and better quality.

How It Works

Upload your GIF file, click Convert, and download the MP4. The GIF frames are encoded into a proper H.264 video stream.

How to Use

  1. 1

    Upload your GIF

    Drop an animated .gif file onto the upload zone.

  2. 2

    Set output options

    Choose output quality and whether to loop the video or play it once.

  3. 3

    Convert

    Click "Convert to MP4". FFmpeg converts the GIF frames into an H.264 MP4 video file.

  4. 4

    Download

    Save the MP4. Video files are typically 80–95% smaller than the equivalent GIF.

Why Choose This Tool

Up to 95% Smaller Files

MP4 H.264 achieves the same visual quality as GIF at a fraction of the file size — dramatically faster load times.

Better Color Quality

GIFs are limited to 256 colors; MP4 supports millions — output looks sharper and more accurate.

yuv420p Color Space

Output uses the browser-compatible yuv420p pixel format for smooth playback in all HTML5 video tags.

Even Dimension Scaling

Automatically rounds dimensions to even numbers required by H.264 so the output always plays without errors.

100% Browser-Based

FFmpeg WebAssembly converts GIF to MP4 entirely locally — no upload, no server.
