This free GIF to MP4 converter turns an animated GIF into a standard MP4 video right in your browser. There is no signup, no watermark and no upload.
Why turn a GIF into an MP4?
- Much smaller files. A GIF stores every frame with a limited palette. MP4 uses modern video compression, so the same animation is often a fraction of the size.
- Smoother and sharper. MP4 supports full colour, so gradients and photos look better than in a 256-colour GIF.
- Works where GIFs do not. Many websites, chat apps and social platforms accept MP4 video but handle large GIFs badly.
- Faster pages. A short MP4 loads quicker than a heavy GIF, which helps websites and emails.
Limits to know
- No sound. GIFs have no audio, so the MP4 is silent.
- No transparency. MP4 cannot be transparent, so transparent parts of a GIF can turn black.
- File size. Files over 300 MB are not accepted, because the browser has to hold them in memory.
- An internet connection is needed once. The converter (about 30 MB) is downloaded the first time and then kept by your browser.
- One GIF at a time. Press Clear or Convert another to start a new one.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about converting GIF to MP4 with ConvertKit Lite.
Is it safe to convert my GIF here?
Yes. The conversion runs in your browser. Your GIF is not uploaded to a ConvertKit Lite server.
Why convert a GIF to MP4?
An MP4 is usually many times smaller than the same GIF, plays more smoothly, has full colour, and works on websites, chat apps and social platforms that handle video better than GIFs.
Does the MP4 keep the animation?
Yes. Every frame of the GIF is kept. You can also choose to repeat the animation up to 5 times inside the video.
Will the MP4 have sound?
No. GIFs have no audio, so the MP4 has none either.
Can I make the MP4 loop forever?
An MP4 file does not loop by itself, but most players and websites can loop a video. Use the Repeat setting to put the animation in the video several times.
Which quality should I choose?
Balanced is a good start. Choose High quality for sharper results, or Smaller file for the smallest MP4.
Why is the first conversion slow to start?
The converter (about 30 MB) is downloaded once and then your browser keeps it. Later conversions start much faster.
What if I get an error?
Check your internet connection, make sure the file is a real GIF under 300 MB, then reload the page and try again. Very large or very long GIFs may need more memory than your device has.
What happens to transparent areas?
MP4 video does not support transparency, so transparent parts of a GIF can appear black in the MP4.
How do I convert GIF to MP4?
Add your GIF, choose the quality, maximum width and repeat count, press Convert to MP4 and download the video.
Is this GIF to MP4 converter free?
Yes. It is free, needs no signup and adds no watermark. There is no limit on how many files you convert.
