Frequently Asked Questions
Why convert GIF to MP4?
MP4 files are dramatically smaller than GIFs — often 80-95% smaller — while maintaining equal or better visual quality. MP4 also supports millions of colors (vs 256 for GIF), smooth playback, and is preferred by social media platforms.
How much smaller will the MP4 be?
Typically 80-95% smaller. A 10 MB GIF might become a 500 KB MP4 file. H.264 video compression is vastly more efficient than the frame-by-frame encoding GIF uses.
Will the quality be better or worse?
Quality is typically better. GIF is limited to 256 colors per frame and has no inter-frame compression. MP4 supports millions of colors and smooth gradients, so the output often looks sharper than the original GIF.
Can I use the MP4 on social media?
Yes! Most social media platforms (Twitter/X, Facebook, Instagram, Discord) actually prefer MP4 over GIF. Many platforms automatically convert uploaded GIFs to MP4 anyway for better performance.
Does this work with all animated GIFs?
Yes, this converter works with animated GIFs. Static (non-animated) GIFs will produce a very short MP4 with a single frame. For best results, use animated GIFs.
Is my file uploaded to a server?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser using WebAssembly technology. Your GIF file never leaves your device, ensuring complete privacy.
