GIF to MP4
Choose your loop count and quality, then convert your GIF into a downloadable video — free, private, and processed entirely in your browser.
About the GIF to MP4 Converter
Our free online GIF to MP4 converter turns an animated GIF into a compact video file. It's perfect for posting to Instagram, Facebook, and other social networks that don't support uploading GIFs directly, and MP4's H.264 compression produces a dramatically smaller file size than the original GIF for the same visual content.
Unlike most online tools, conversion happens entirely inside your browser using the Canvas API and the native MediaRecorder API — your GIF is never uploaded to a server. That means it's fast, works without an internet round-trip, and keeps your files completely private and secure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I convert a GIF to MP4?
MP4 video files use H.264 compression, which is up to 10x more size-efficient than the old GIF format's encoding — meaning faster load times and better compatibility with social networks like Instagram, which doesn't support uploading GIFs directly.
Are my files secure?
Yes. All decoding, canvas stream capturing, and video recording happen 100% locally in your browser — your GIF is never uploaded to a server.
Why does the conversion take a few seconds?
The video is recorded in real time as the GIF plays back on an internal canvas, so the conversion takes roughly as long as the GIF's total loop duration multiplied by your chosen loop count.
Will the output always be an MP4 file?
Whenever your browser supports it, yes — a real MP4 file is produced. A small number of browsers don't yet support native MP4 recording; in that case a WEBM video is produced instead so the file still plays correctly, and the download button and preview will reflect that automatically.
Does it cost money?
No. The GIF to MP4 converter is 100% free to use, with no registration or account required.
