GIF to MP4
Turn an animated GIF into a much smaller MP4 video, on your device. Free, with no account or uploads.
The animation becomes an MP4 video, usually a fraction of the GIF's size. Where this browser cannot write MP4, the page says so.
Drop a GIF to turn it into a video
Add a moving picture (a GIF or a sticker), a short video from your phone or computer, or several photos to make one move. You can also paste one.
Stays on your device. Free, no account. Up to 20 at once, 100 MB each (video 500 MB).

Questions people ask
- Will the MP4 loop like the GIF?
- A video file has no loop count of its own: whether it plays again is up to the player or the site that shows it.
- What if my browser cannot make MP4?
- The page asks the browser first. Where it cannot write MP4, the page says so and saves a WebM video, or an animated WebP where it writes no video.
- Can I turn a video into a GIF instead?
- Yes. Drop a short MP4, MOV or WebM and choose GIF under More options. The Video to GIF page makes one too.
