GIF to MP4 converter

The same animation at a fraction of the size — GIFs become autoplay-ready MP4 or WebM on your own device.

One animated GIF · converted on your device, nothing is uploaded

H.264 MP4 — plays and autoplays everywhere, typically 5–20× smaller than the GIF.

Runs in your browser. Files are never uploaded — you can go offline after the page loads.

How to use the GIF to MP4

  1. Drop one animated GIF.
  2. It converts to MP4 (or WebM) with even dimensions and faststart set — the preview plays the result.
  3. Download a file typically 5–20× smaller than the GIF.

Easy to use

Drop files, pick options, download. Whole folders at once, no signup, no daily limit.

Best quality

The same engines the professionals use — SVGO, resvg, MozJPEG, libwebp, libavif — compiled to run in your browser.

Private & secure

Files are processed on your device and never uploaded. Close the tab and nothing remains anywhere.

Video is what GIFs want to be

A GIF stores whole 256-colour frames with 30-year-old compression; H.264 video stores full-colour differences between frames. The same animation as MP4 is routinely 5–20× smaller and looks better. The big platforms know it — Twitter and Reddit silently convert every uploaded GIF to video. Converting yourself first means you control the quality and keep the small file for your own site, where <video autoplay loop muted playsinline> behaves exactly like a GIF.

The conversion runs on FFmpeg in your browser — nothing is uploaded — and the output is written with even pixel dimensions and faststart, the two details that decide whether a video plays everywhere or fails silently in iMessage and old players. Going the other way, Video to GIF makes the paste-anywhere version.

Frequently asked questions

Why convert GIF to video at all?

Size and quality. GIF is capped at 256 colours and compresses poorly; H.264 video shows full colour at a tenth of the bytes. Twitter, Reddit and most sites already convert uploaded GIFs to video for exactly this reason — this tool lets you do it first, keeping control.

Will the MP4 autoplay and loop like a GIF?

On the web, yes: <video autoplay loop muted playsinline> behaves exactly like a GIF and is what platforms generate. The file is written with faststart so it begins playing before it fully downloads.

MP4 or WebM?

MP4 plays everywhere — messengers, iPhones, old laptops. WebM (VP9) is smaller still and ideal for websites; use it when you control the page it appears on.

Your files never leave your device

Most online converters upload your file to a server. InfyTool ships the actual encoders to your browser as WebAssembly instead, so processing happens inside your tab — faster for batches, and nothing to delete afterwards.

  • No upload, ever. Turn off Wi-Fi after the page loads and every tool keeps working.
  • No limits. No file-size cap, no queue, no watermark, no account.
  • Runs on your CPU. Batches use several cores in parallel; nothing is throttled.
