GIF to MP4

Animated GIFs are large and some platforms, like Instagram, do not accept them. Converting a GIF to MP4 usually makes it many times smaller and lets you post it anywhere videos are accepted.

How to convert GIF to MP4

1. Upload your animated GIF.
2. Click Convert.
3. Download the MP4 video.

GIF to MP4 features

• Usually reduces the size dramatically compared with the GIF.
• H.264 video that plays on every phone, browser and social network.
• Keeps the original timing of the animation.

Why social networks prefer MP4 over GIF

Platforms like X (Twitter) and Reddit convert uploaded GIFs to video anyway, because video is much smaller and smoother. Converting it yourself gives you control: you upload a small MP4, it starts faster for your viewers, and Instagram, which does not accept GIF files as posts, takes the MP4 without problems.

Frequently asked questions

Does the MP4 loop like the GIF?

The MP4 plays once in most players. Websites can loop it with the loop attribute, and many social apps loop short videos automatically.

What happens to transparent parts of the GIF?

MP4 does not support transparency, so transparent areas become black. Use GIF to WEBM to keep transparency.

Can I post the MP4 on Instagram?

Yes, Instagram accepts MP4 videos.

Is it free?

Yes, with no watermark.
