Convert GIF to MP4 Online Free in Browser
Convert GIF to MP4 online for free. A video codec stores only the difference between frames, so MP4 weighs a fraction of a GIF.
A GIF stores every frame as a 256-colour image and never compresses the motion between frames — hence the weight and the muddy gradients. MP4 encodes video by remembering only what changed, so the same animation takes ten to twenty times less space and looks better. Social networks have done this silently for years: upload a GIF and it quietly becomes a video.

Frequently asked questions
Why is the MP4 so much lighter than the GIF?
GIF stores every frame as a separate 256-colour picture; a video codec stores only the difference between frames. A ten-second, 10 MB GIF usually becomes an MP4 well under a megabyte — with proper colours on top.
Will it still loop and play without sound?
There is no audio track in the file, and looping and autoplay are decided by the site or the player, not by the format. On social networks such an MP4 behaves exactly like a GIF.
Where do I post the result if the site expects a GIF?
Most platforms accept a short video and present it like a GIF — looping and muted. If the upload form insists on a .gif extension, you will need the conversion in the other direction.
Where do my files get uploaded?
Nowhere. All processing happens locally in your browser using FFmpeg.wasm — files never leave your computer.
Is it free to use?
Yes, this tool is free and needs no sign-up. Your file is processed right in your browser and is not uploaded to a server. There are no watermarks.
