MP4 to GIF Converter
Turn an MP4 clip into a high-quality animated GIF entirely in your browser. A two-pass color palette keeps the result sharp, and nothing is ever uploaded — the conversion runs on your own device.
Converting MP4 to GIF the right way
MP4 uses millions of colors; GIF supports only 256. A naive conversion produces banding and dithering noise. This tool runs a two-pass palette: first it analyzes your clip to build the optimal 256-color palette, then renders the GIF against it — the same technique used by professional FFmpeg workflows, so your GIF stays crisp.
Frequently asked questions
- Why is my GIF bigger than the MP4?
- GIF is an old, inefficient format with no modern video compression, so a few seconds of motion can exceed the source MP4. Keep GIFs short, lower the width, or reduce the frame rate to shrink the file.
- How do I keep the GIF file small?
- Trim to the few seconds you need, drop the width to 320–480px, and use 10–15 fps. Those three levers control GIF size far more than anything else.
