How do I convert a GIF to MP4?

Upload your animated GIF, select MP4 as the output format, choose a quality level, and click Process. The converter creates the video file instantly in your browser — no server upload needed.

Why is MP4 so much smaller than GIF?

GIF uses lossless frame-by-frame compression with only 256 colors. MP4 uses modern H.264 video compression with inter-frame prediction, achieving 80-95% smaller files with millions of colors and smoother playback.

Which output format should I choose?

MP4 for maximum compatibility (plays everywhere). WebM for web-optimized delivery (smaller files, supported by all modern browsers). MKV for lossless container flexibility.

Will the animation speed stay the same?

Yes, frame timing is preserved exactly. The video plays back at the same speed as the original GIF.
