Turn an animated GIF into a much smaller MP4 video, each frame kept for its own delay
Processed in your browser. Nothing is uploaded. Updated on 24 Oct 2026.Animated GIFs are large for what they show: a few seconds can weigh 10 MB, because GIF compresses each picture on its own with only 256 colours. The same animation as an H.264 MP4 is usually a fraction of that and plays everywhere a GIF is refused, from Instagram to a slide deck. Every frame keeps its own delay, the repeats are written into the video, and the conversion runs in your browser.
Press Choose a video and pick the animated GIF; it is read on your device and not uploaded.
Under Play it, choose how many times the animation repeats, since an MP4 does not loop by itself; a short GIF is set to about six seconds.
Read the line above the button: frame count, length, size, and white where the GIF was see-through.
Press Convert GIF to MP4, and the MP4 downloads when the progress line finishes.
The MOV to MP4 Converter turns a MOV, MKV or WebM video into an MP4, changing as little as it can.
Phone videos stay the right way up. A portrait iPhone video is stored sideways with a note saying how to turn it. That note is carried into the MP4, so it plays upright. Edit lists, which trim the first frames or delay the sound, are applied so picture and sound stay in step.
GIF to MP4. An animated GIF is encoded to H.264, each frame shown for its own delay and played up to ten times, usually at a fraction of the GIF's size.
The rest of the article, and all 6 questions about MOV to MP4 Converter, are on the MOV to MP4 Converter page.
Drop the MOV here and press Convert. iPhone and camera MOV files hold H.264 or H.265 video and AAC sound, which MP4 holds too, so every frame is copied into the new file unchanged. Nothing is compressed again, and the MP4 looks exactly like the MOV.
Yes, when the MKV holds H.264 or H.265 video, as most do. The frames are moved into an MP4 as they are, in seconds. AAC sound is copied; Opus or Vorbis sound is converted to AAC. Subtitles, chapters and extra audio tracks are left out.
WebM files usually hold VP9 or VP8 video, which QuickTime, iPhones and many TVs will not play from an MP4. The page decodes every frame and encodes it as H.264, the format every MP4 player reads. The page says this before you press the button, with the reason.
No. An iPhone stores portrait video sideways with a note telling players to turn it 90 degrees. The converter carries that note into the MP4, so the video plays upright in every player that reads MP4 rotation, which is all the common ones.
