GIF to MP4 Converter
Convert an animated GIF into a compact MP4 or WebM video file online with output width, duration, and FPS controls — processed entirely in your browser, no upload required.
GIF to MP4 Converter
Convert an animated GIF into a compact, smooth video file right in your browser — no upload, no account. The tool reads the GIF loop length automatically, captures each animated frame via canvas, and outputs an MP4 or WebM you can download instantly. To go in the other direction, use the Video to GIF Converter or browse the full GIF Maker category.

What this tool does
This GIF to MP4 converter turns an animated GIF into a compact video format that is smaller, smoother, and more compatible with modern media players, social platforms, and mobile apps. GIF files are significantly less efficient than video codecs — the same content as an MP4 or WebM is typically 5–10× smaller with better color fidelity and playback smoothness.
All processing happens in your browser using the Canvas and MediaRecorder APIs. Nothing is uploaded to any server. To go in the opposite direction, use the Video to GIF Converter. To build an animation from scratch, see the Animated GIF Maker.
How it works
After the browser loads the GIF as an animated image element, the tool scales it to the chosen output width on a hidden canvas and starts a MediaRecorder capturing the canvas stream at the selected FPS. Because the browser renders each GIF frame naturally as the animation plays, the recorder captures those frames in real time and compresses them into a video stream. Recording stops after the set duration and the file is immediately available for preview and download.
Chrome and Firefox output WebM; Safari outputs MP4. Both play in all modern devices. To reduce the output file size further, lower the width or FPS before converting.
Worked example
Say you have a product demo GIF that is 2 MB and loops for 3 seconds. Upload it — the tool detects the 3-second loop automatically and pre-fills the duration. Leave the output width at 480 px and FPS at 30, then click Convert. The resulting video is typically 150–400 KB — roughly 5–10× smaller than the original GIF — and plays smoothly in any browser or app.
For a short 1-second sticker or reaction GIF, use 320 px width and 15 FPS to keep the video under 100 KB. For a longer screen-recording GIF, set the duration to the detected loop length and use 30 FPS for smooth playback.
Frequently asked questions
Does this tool upload my GIF to a server?
No. All conversion happens in your browser using the Canvas and MediaRecorder APIs. Your GIF file is never sent to any server — the video is assembled locally and downloaded directly to your device.
Why is the output .webm instead of .mp4?
The output format depends on which video codec your browser supports. Chrome and Firefox produce WebM (VP8/VP9), while Safari produces MP4 (H.264). Both formats play in all modern media players and devices.
How do I set the right duration?
The tool auto-reads the GIF's frame delays and pre-fills the duration with one full loop. You can extend it to capture multiple loops or shorten it to trim the end.
What FPS should I choose?
30 FPS is a good default for smooth video. If the original GIF is slow (2–5 FPS), a lower capture FPS like 10–15 still produces clean results with a smaller file size.
Why does the converted video look different from the GIF?
GIF is limited to 256 colors per frame. The video codec captures those same indexed colors, but it may render gradients or dithering patterns slightly differently depending on the output codec.
Can I convert a large GIF?
Files up to 50 MB are supported. Very large GIFs with hundreds of frames may take a few seconds longer to convert depending on duration and output width.
