Convert MP4 to GIF
Turn short video clips into looping GIFs for chats, docs and README files.
- Your MP4 file never leaves your device
- No sign-up, no watermark, no daily quota
- Handles files up to about 900 MB — your browser's memory ceiling
What happens when you convert MP4 to GIF
Turns a clip into an animated GIF at 12 frames per second, scaled to 480 pixels wide with Lanczos resampling and looping forever. GIF has no real inter-frame compression, so files grow very quickly; output is limited to the first 30 seconds to keep the result usable.
Good for
- Making a short reaction or demo loop for chat and forums
- Embedding a product or bug demonstration where video will not autoplay
- Posting to places that accept GIF but not video
Worth knowing
- Only the first 30 seconds are converted. Trim to the moment you want before converting.
- Audio is discarded — GIF cannot carry sound.
- Expect a large file. A few seconds of motion can easily exceed the size of the source video.
- GIF's 256-colour palette causes visible banding on gradients and film footage.
