    About this tool

    An MP4 of the same animation is typically 5–10× smaller than the GIF, with smoother colors (GIFs are limited to 256 colors per frame, which is why they band and dither). Converting also unlocks real video controls — pause, scrub, and platform autoplay. Odd pixel dimensions are rounded to even, which MP4 requires.

    Going the other way? The Video to GIF Converter turns clips into GIFs.

    Frequently asked questions

    Why is the MP4 so much smaller? MP4 compresses the differences between frames with modern codecs; GIF stores nearly every frame in an ancient palette format.

    Will the quality improve? The MP4 keeps everything the GIF has (and smooths the color banding slightly), but it cannot restore detail the GIF already lost.

    Are my files uploaded? No — conversion runs in your browser.
