About converting MP4 to GIF
If you've ever needed to turn a MP4 into a GIF, you already know how clunky most online converters can be: queue, upload, ad-wall, captcha, download. We built this MP4 to GIF tool the opposite way. It's a single page, the conversion runs locally in your browser, and the result is ready before most sites have finished loading their ad scripts. Under the hood, MP4 — the H.264/AAC container that plays everywhere — is decoded using the browser's built-in support, then re-encoded as GIF, an animated raster format with a 256-color palette. Nothing about your file is transmitted to a server, which means there is no upload size limit imposed by us, no privacy footnote to read, and no account to create. It's the MP4 to GIF converter we wanted to exist, so we shipped it for free.
Frequently asked
Is this MP4 to GIF converter really free?+
Yes. There's no paywall, no signup wall, and no per-file fee. You get unlimited MP4-to-GIF conversions when signed in, and a generous free quota without an account.
Will my converted GIF have a watermark?+
Never. The output GIF file is byte-for-byte yours — no watermark, no metadata injection, no branding.
Why GIF instead of another format?+
GIF is an animated raster format with a 256-color palette, which makes it a strong default for most use cases people convert MP4 into. If you need a different output, we likely have a dedicated converter for that pair too.
Does this work on iPhone, iPad, and Android?+
Yes. Any modern mobile browser — Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Edge — can run the MP4 to GIF converter. There's nothing to install.
Can I convert multiple MP4 files to GIF at once?+
Yes. Drop a whole folder of MP4 files into the dropzone and they'll be converted to GIF in parallel. Each output downloads as soon as it's ready.
