Frequently asked questions

Why convert a GIF to MP4?

Videos compress moving pictures far better than GIF, so the same animation is often 5 to 20 times smaller as an MP4 and loads much faster. Many sites and chat apps also accept MP4 where large GIFs are rejected.

Will the video loop like the GIF?

GIFs loop forever by themselves, but videos play once unless the player or website loops them. To make a short animation last longer, set Plays in the video to repeat it up to 10 times.

What happens to transparent parts, and is my GIF uploaded?

MP4 and this WebM have no transparency, so see-through areas get a solid background. The conversion runs in your browser, so the GIF is never uploaded.

Are my files uploaded anywhere?

No. GIF to MP4 runs entirely in your browser. Your files are processed on your device and are never sent to a server.

Is there a file size limit?

No fixed limit. The only limit is your device's memory. Very large files work best in a desktop browser.

Is GIF to MP4 really free?

Yes. There's no account and no watermark. A short optional ad, or a 20-second wait, unlocks each download. That's how we keep it free.
