Technical Details

Our GIF to MP4 converter uses FFmpeg, a powerful multimedia framework, to transform your GIFs. The conversion process:

  1. Analyzes the GIF to determine frame rate and other properties
  2. Decodes the GIF frames and color palette
  3. Processes the frames to create a video stream
  4. Encodes the video using the efficient H.264 codec
  5. Packages everything into the MP4 container format
  6. Preserves animation timing and looping behavior

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my MP4 loop like the original GIF?

By default, MP4 videos don't automatically loop. However, when embedding the video on websites, you can add the "loop" attribute to make it behave like a GIF. Our converter preserves the timing and animation of your original GIF.

How much smaller will my MP4 file be?

Typically, an MP4 file will be 5-10 times smaller than the original GIF while maintaining similar or better visual quality. The exact reduction depends on the content and length of the animation.

Can I convert multiple GIFs at once?

Currently, our tool processes one file at a time. For batch conversion, you'll need to convert each file individually.

Is my data secure?

Yes! All processing happens locally in your browser. Your files are never uploaded to our servers, ensuring complete privacy and security.

Will the MP4 play on all devices?

MP4 with H.264 encoding is one of the most universally supported video formats. It works on virtually all modern devices including smartphones, tablets, computers, smart TVs, and media players.

Can I use this on my mobile device?

Yes, our converter works on modern mobile browsers, though the experience may be optimized for desktop use.
