Convert animated GIFs to much smaller MP4 videos. Files up to 100MB.
GIF to MP4 Converter re-encodes animated GIFs as H.264 MP4 video. The result is typically 5–10x smaller than the GIF, and it plays everywhere, including social platforms that prefer video uploads. Files up to 100MB.

MP4 with H.264 compresses motion vastly better than GIF, so the same animation is usually 5–10x smaller and streams instead of loading all at once. Twitter, Instagram, TikTok and most social platforms prefer or silently convert to video anyway, so uploading MP4 keeps quality in your hands.
The video itself contains one pass of the animation; looping is handled by the player. Browsers, social platforms and HTML video tags with the loop attribute replay it seamlessly, so it behaves just like the GIF in practice.
Usually it improves. GIF is limited to 256 colors per frame, while H.264 is full-color, so gradients and photographic content often look smoother in the MP4 despite the much smaller file size.
