How to convert MP4 to GIF

1. Upload your MP4 file.
2. Choose the start time and length of the GIF.
3. Adjust frames per second and width if needed.
4. Click Convert and download the GIF.

MP4 to GIF features

• Optimised colour palette for sharp GIFs.
• Ideal for screen recordings and tutorial snippets.
• No watermark added.

How the GIF quality is optimised

GIF images can only use 256 colours. A simple conversion picks a generic palette, which causes banding and noise. This tool first analyses your clip, builds a palette with the 256 colours that matter most, and then applies it with light dithering, so skin tones, gradients and interface colours look much cleaner.

Frequently asked questions

What are the best settings for a screen recording?

Use 10 to 12 fps and a width of 640 px so text stays readable while the file stays reasonably small.

Can I convert a whole MP4 video to GIF?

GIFs are limited to 30 seconds. Choose the most important part of the video.

Will the GIF loop?

Yes, it repeats endlessly.

Is there a watermark?

No.
