Convert a GIF to an MP4 Video

This free GIF to MP4 converter turns an animated GIF into a real video file, in the browser, in seconds. Open the GIF and it is encoded straight away; the video plays on the stage, the panel shows the size before and after, and the button downloads it. Videos are usually five to twenty times smaller than the GIF they came from, they play in places that block or shrink GIFs - Instagram, TikTok, most messaging apps, video players - and they scroll and scale smoothly where a large GIF stutters.

Real Video, the GIF's Own Timing

The tool uses the browser's own video encoder to write genuine H.264 for MP4, or VP9 for WebM, muxed into a standard file - not a screen recording. Every frame is stamped with the delay the GIF gives it, so uneven timing is reproduced exactly, and the frame rate reported in the panel is the GIF's real average. A GIF loops but a video ends, so Repeat plays the animation two, three or five times in a row for a video that lasts as long as you need. Transparent areas of the GIF become black; a video has no transparency.

Quality and Size

Small, Balanced and Best set the bitrate from the picture size and frame rate. Balanced is right for almost everything; Best keeps fine text and sharp edges in screen recordings; Small is for chat limits. MP4 plays everywhere; WebM is smaller still and fine for the web. This converter needs a browser with video encoding built in - current Chrome, Edge, Safari and Firefox all have it.

Private by Design

Your GIF never leaves your device. It is decoded, encoded and written into a video file entirely inside your browser; nothing is uploaded, there is no signup and no watermark, and once the page is open the tool even works offline.

Frequently Asked Questions About GIF to Video

How do I convert a GIF to MP4?

Open the GIF, wait a moment for the encode, check it on the stage and press Download MP4. Choose WebM, another quality or a repeat count and it re-encodes on its own.

Why is the video so much smaller than the GIF?

A GIF stores every frame as indexed pixels with no motion compression; a video encoder stores what changes between frames and compresses it far better, at more than 256 colours.

Can I make the video longer than the GIF?

Yes - Repeat plays the GIF two, three or five times in one video. Videos do not loop on their own, so a one-second GIF becomes a one-second video unless you repeat it.

Does it keep the GIF's speed?

Yes. Each frame is written with its own delay from the GIF, so the video runs exactly as long as one play of the GIF - times the repeat count.

Is my GIF uploaded to a server?

No. Everything runs in your browser - nothing is transmitted anywhere, and the tool keeps working offline once the page is open.
