Convert MP4 to GIFRight in Your Browser
Turn MP4 clips into animated GIFs that autoplay anywhere — README files, chat apps, forums and docs. The converter builds an optimized color palette for each clip, so the GIF looks far better than a default encode.

Frequently Asked Questions
What settings does the GIF use?
12 frames per second, capped at 480px wide, with a per-clip optimized palette (palettegen + Bayer dithering). That combination keeps files reasonable while looking dramatically better than the default 256-color web palette.
Why is my GIF bigger than the MP4?
GIF is a 1980s format that stores each frame almost whole, while MP4 only stores what changes between frames. A GIF several times larger than its source is normal — use GIFs where autoplay matters more than size.
Is it safe to convert video clips online?
Yes. Unlike traditional online converters, this tool never uploads your files. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so video clips never leave your device — you can even disconnect from the internet after the page loads and it still works.
Is this converter really free?
Yes — completely free, with no sign-up, no watermarks, and no file-per-day limits. Because conversion happens on your own device, there are no server costs to pass on to you.
