Nothing is uploaded: everything happens in your browser

The video is processed by your device: allow a few seconds for a format change, longer for compression.

An animated GIF is heavy and cannot be imported into editing software or onto some social networks. Converting it to MP4 often makes it ten times lighter and playable everywhere, with the same animation and the same frame timings.

How to convert GIF to MP4

  1. 1Drop your GIF files in the box, or click to pick them. You can add several at once.
  2. 2MP4 is already selected. Open the settings if you want to change the quality, the size or the background.
  3. 3Download each file, or everything at once as a .zip. Nothing was uploaded: the conversion happened on your device.

The formats

GIF

The web's historic animated format. It is limited to 256 colors per frame, enough for memes and simple animations but rough on photos. A short video often weighs ten times less than the same GIF.

MP4

The universal video format. In H.264 with AAC audio, it plays on every phone, computer, TV and social network. It is the format to aim for when you do not know where the video will be watched.

Your files stay with you

The conversion runs in your browser, with your device's decoders. No file is uploaded, no copy is kept, and nobody but you sees your photos or videos. You can check it in the Network tab of your browser's developer tools: none of your files goes out.

Frequently asked questions

Is the GIF's transparency kept?

No, MP4 has none: transparent areas take the background color from the settings, white by default.

Does the MP4 loop?

The video lasts one loop of the GIF. Social networks and most players replay short videos in a loop.

Is the converter really free?

Yes, with no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on the number of files. The conversion runs on your device and costs us nothing, so there is nothing to charge you for.

Are my files sent anywhere?

No. They are read and converted in your browser, then saved straight to your device. No server receives them.

Is there a maximum size?

The limit is your device's memory. Photos and audio files go through without trouble; for a video of several gigabytes, a computer does better than a phone.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes, on iPhone and Android, in Safari, Chrome or Firefox. For video, an up-to-date browser is needed: it provides the decoders being used.
