Frequently asked questions

How do I convert a GIF to a video?

Drop your GIF into the box above. It starts playing straight away; choose the shape, length and quality, then click Convert to MP4. The video downloads in a few seconds — free, with no sign up and no watermark.

What video format does it make?

MP4 with the H.264 codec — the most widely supported video format. It plays on iPhone, Android, Windows and Mac, and uploads to Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, WhatsApp, X and Facebook. If your browser can’t make MP4, it saves a WebM video instead and tells you.

How do I convert a GIF to a video for Instagram?

Pick 9:16 for Reels and Stories or 1:1 for the feed, and keep the length at Auto: the GIF repeats until the video is at least 3 seconds long, which Instagram requires. Choose HD 720p or Full HD 1080p so it looks sharp.

Can I make the video longer than the GIF?

Yes. Choose 5, 10, 15 or 30 seconds and the GIF loops seamlessly to fill that time. Auto loops a short GIF until it is at least 3 seconds long.

Can I add music or sound to my GIF?

Yes. Add an audio file (MP3, M4A, WAV) or a video with sound, and it is added to the MP4 with a short fade at the end. GIFs have no sound of their own.

What happens to a GIF with a transparent background?

Video has no transparency, so transparent areas are filled with a colour you choose — white by default. Pick black or any colour to match where you will post it.

Will the video be HD or high quality?

Choose HD 720p or Full HD 1080p and small GIFs are enlarged smoothly. For pixel art, turn on Sharp pixels to keep crisp square pixels instead of blur. Same as GIF keeps the original size.

Can I speed up, slow down or reverse the GIF?

Yes. Set the speed from 0.25× to 3×, play it in reverse, or choose Boomerang to play forwards then backwards in a seamless loop.

Why convert a GIF to MP4?

An MP4 is often 5–10× smaller than the same GIF, has smooth full colour instead of 256 colours, can carry sound, and many apps and social sites accept videos but not GIF uploads.

Is my GIF uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion happens entirely in your browser, so your GIF never leaves your computer or phone, and there is no file size limit from a server.

Does it work on iPhone and Android?

Yes, in the phone’s browser with no app. After converting, tap Save to Photos to keep the video or share it straight to Instagram or WhatsApp.
