    Instagram and many platforms will not take GIF uploads; as MP4 the animation shares as video and the file shrinks a lot.

    Why convert GIF to MP4?

    To convert GIF files to MP4, drop them on the counter above. GIF is limited to 256 colours and is many times larger than a video of the same clip. The same animation fits in a far smaller MP4 that Instagram, X and WhatsApp share as video.

    Most files convert in seconds: no queue, no email address, and the MP4 result saves straight to your computer or phone.

    Frequently asked questions

    Is converting GIF to MP4 free?

    Yes, completely free. No account, no daily limit, no watermark and no queue.

    Does it work on a phone?

    Yes. It works on iPhone, iPad and Android, with no app to install.

    Is there a file size limit?

    There is no size limit set by us. Files of hundreds of MB convert too; very large files take longer and are handled more comfortably on a computer than on a phone.
