GIF to MP4 Converter: Make GIFs Smaller and Smoother
GIFs are huge. Converting a GIF to MP4 usually shrinks it by 80 to 95 percent and makes it play more smoothly. Drop in your GIF and download an MP4. Nothing is uploaded.
How to use the GIF to MP4
- Drop your GIF onto the converter.
- Press Convert to MP4.
- Preview the video and download it.
Why MP4 beats GIF
GIFs store every frame as a picture with only 256 colours, so files are large and look grainy. MP4 uses modern compression and keeps full colour at a fraction of the size.
Works where GIFs do not
Social apps and sites often accept MP4 uploads and play them as a loop. A short MP4 is also easier to edit.
