Questions
How do I convert a GIF to an MP4 file?
Pick the GIF on this page and press Convert to MP4. The frames are encoded into an MP4 in your browser, and you download the file when it is done.
Why is the MP4 smaller than the GIF?
GIF stores frames as pictures with simple compression. MP4 video stores only what changes between frames and packs it far more tightly.
Why did transparent parts of my GIF turn white?
MP4 video has no transparency. Any transparent area is drawn as white, so the background cannot show through.
Will the MP4 loop like the GIF?
The MP4 plays once. Whether it repeats depends on the video player you use.
