GIF to MP4 Converter — Free, Local, No Upload

The short answer: GIF to MP4 modernizes an animated GIF into an H.264 MP4 video that is typically many times smaller and streams natively on every phone, browser, and social app. The conversion runs ffmpeg.wasm locally in your browser — no uploads — and you choose the output width and a quality tier that trades size against detail. Animated GIFs up to 100 MB and 60 seconds per clip are supported.

  1. Open the converter

    The button above opens the Video GIF Converter with the MP4 output already selected.

    Add the file (up to 100.0 MiB); the format is verified from its signature, not its name.

  3. Convert and download

    Press Convert; the ffmpeg engine (~31 MB) downloads on first use, then the file converts in a dedicated worker. Cancel stops the run cleanly.

What to watch

The encode is lossy H.264, so repeating the conversion keeps shaving detail; pick the quality tier accordingly. The MP4 carries no audio track because a GIF has none to copy. Very short loops may play with a slight delay on some platforms while the video buffers, and the ~31 MB conversion engine downloads on first use, then stays cached for instant reuse, including offline.

Frequently asked questions

What are the file limits?
Inputs up to 100.0 MiB and 60 seconds are converted locally in your browser. Anything larger or longer is refused with a clear message instead of being silently truncated or downgraded.
Does the MP4 keep the sound?
A GIF has no audio track, so the MP4 is silent — there is nothing to copy. Add a soundtrack in a video editor if you need one.
