MP4 to GIF
Choose your frame rate and target width, then convert your video into a downloadable animated GIF — free, private, and processed entirely in your browser.
About the MP4 to GIF Converter
Our free online MP4 to GIF converter turns a video clip into a lightweight, looping animated GIF. It's perfect for turning highlights, memes, and short recordings into animations you can drop straight into chat apps, social media posts, and presentations without needing a video player.
Unlike most online tools, conversion happens entirely inside your browser using the HTML5 video and Canvas APIs — your video 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
Can I convert large videos?
For large videos, we recommend trimming them first. Because processing runs client-side in your browser's memory, short clips up to 30 seconds work best.
Are my videos private?
Yes, your video is loaded and processed locally inside your browser — no data is ever sent to our servers.
Why is my GIF file so large?
GIFs store every frame as its own image with a limited color palette. Choosing a lower frame rate and a smaller target width will significantly reduce the final file size.
Will the audio from my video be included?
No. The GIF image format doesn't support audio — only the visual frames are captured and converted.
Does it cost money?
No. The MP4 to GIF converter is 100% free to use, with no registration or account required.
