Is my GIF uploaded to a server?
No. MP4 encoding runs in your browser; the GIF stays on your device for the whole conversion.

GIF to MP4
Turn animated GIFs into H.264 MP4 videos with GIF to MP4. Compared with GIF loops, MP4 files are typically much smaller, stream smoothly, and play on nearly every browser, phone, and social platform. Use this converter when you need embed-friendly video for websites, presentations, ads, or feeds without installing desktop software.
Drop GIFs to convert to MP4
Drag and drop one or more animated GIFs into the upload area or choose them from your device. Preview your files if needed, start the conversion, and download your MP4 videos once they're ready.

How to use
Converting a GIF into an H.264 MP4 for social or web embed is straightforward.
- 1
Upload your animated GIF, optionally rename the output, then start conversion. The tool encodes frames into an H.264 MP4 suited for embeds, timelines, and messaging apps.
- 2
When encoding finishes, download the MP4 and drop it into your site player, presentation, or social upload — no server round-trip required.
Benefits
Features & benefits
GIF to MP4 is built for marketers, developers, and creators who need smaller, universally playable video instead of bulky GIF embeds.
H.264 for everywhere
Export MP4 with H.264 so the result plays on phones, desktops, smart TVs, and nearly every social or CMS upload pipeline.
Smaller social embeds
Replace heavy GIF loops with compact MP4 that loads faster in feeds, stories, and landing-page autoplay blocks.
Embed-ready downloads
Name the MP4 before you save it so filenames match CMS assets, ad creatives, or client delivery folders.
Browser-only encoding
Conversion stays on your device — open the page, convert, and download without creating an account.
Technical
How it works
- 01
GIF to MP4 decodes each GIF frame and re-encodes the sequence as an H.264 MP4. That codec trades away alpha channels for aggressive compression and near-universal playback, so transparent pixels are flattened during export. The upside is a file that streams, seeks, and embeds far more reliably than a GIF on the open web.
- 02
Encoding runs locally in the browser (with FFmpeg WebAssembly on first use), so source files are not uploaded to a remote converter.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
02
Why is the first video export slow?
The first MP4 export downloads and initializes FFmpeg WebAssembly (about 30 MB). Later MP4 conversions reuse that engine and usually finish faster.
03
Will transparency be preserved?
No. Standard H.264 MP4 has no alpha channel, so transparent GIF areas are filled during encode. Choose WebM or WebP if you need transparency-aware output.
04
Can I process multiple GIFs?
Yes. Queue several GIFs and each one is encoded to its own MP4 with the same export settings.

GIF to WebP
Transform animated GIFs into animated WebP images — not video files — for smaller, still-animating assets on the modern web. Animated WebP keeps motion and usually preserves transparency better than MP4, while often beating GIF on file size in browsers that support the format.
