GIF to MP4 Convert a GIF to MP4.

Upload a GIF and download it as an MP4 or WebM video. The file is usually far smaller, and nothing is uploaded: it all happens in your browser.

How to convert a GIF to MP4

A GIF is a large way to store an animation. The same clip as an MP4 or WebM is usually much smaller and looks better, so converting is often the easiest fix for a file that is too big to share.

Convert a GIF to MP4

  1. Upload your GIF. Drag it onto the page, choose it from your device, or paste a link. Animated WebP and PNG work too.
  2. Edit if you like. Trim, crop, reverse, add text, or change the speed first.
  3. Export as MP4 or WebM. Pick the video format in the export options and download.

When to use a video instead of a GIF

  • The GIF is too big. Video is much smaller at the same quality.
  • You want more than 256 colors. GIFs are limited to 256, so gradients can look banded.
  • The app accepts video. Most social platforms play MP4 on a loop anyway.

You still need a GIF? Use the GIF maker to shrink one, or start from a clip with video to GIF.

GIF to MP4 questions

Why convert a GIF to MP4?

MP4 and WebM keep more colors and are usually much smaller than the same animation as a GIF, so they load faster and fit upload limits.

Which files can I upload?

GIFs, and also animated WebP and PNG. You can paste a link to a file too.

Is the conversion private?

Yes. It happens in your browser and your file is never uploaded.

Is there a watermark or a limit?

No. A2ZGIF is free, with no watermark and no limit on conversions.
