Tool-specific documentation and workflow guidance.
Convert GIF to MP4 or video to GIF directly in the browser, preview both source and output, and download individual files or a ZIP bundle.
GIF to MP4: Converts GIF and common motion formats into MP4 for lighter browser and ad-platform delivery. This is usually the right choice when an animated file is too heavy to ship efficiently as a GIF.
Video to GIF: Converts MP4, WebM, and many MOV files into animated GIF output. Use this when you specifically need GIF compatibility, knowing the output can be much heavier than the source video.
Upload area: Queue one or multiple files for conversion in the current mode. The converter works in batches, so you can prepare several assets with the same settings before running the job.
Batch queue: Shows every queued file, item status, progress, and selection state. This is where you monitor what is waiting, what is processing, and what is ready to download.
Source preview / Converted file: Lets you inspect original and converted output before downloading. Use this comparison view to check motion smoothness, dimensions, and whether the output still matches the creative quality you need.
Keep original width: Prevents the GIF output from being resized smaller. Turn it off when you want to shrink GIF width and reduce file size, especially for previews, chat-safe assets, or lightweight delivery versions.
Keep source FPS: Preserves the original frame rate when converting to GIF. Turn it off when you want fewer frames and a smaller output, especially when the motion can tolerate less smooth playback.
Width (px): Controls GIF output width when original width is not preserved. Smaller widths usually reduce file size quickly and are one of the most effective ways to make a GIF more manageable.
FPS: Controls GIF frame rate and has a strong effect on file size and smoothness. Lower FPS usually makes the GIF smaller, but movement can start to feel choppy if you push it too far.
Colors: Limits the GIF palette size to balance quality and output size. Fewer colors reduce size, but gradients, shadows, and subtle brand colors can start to break apart or band.
Speed: Changes playback speed of the GIF output. Lower values stretch playback; higher values shorten it. This is useful when you need a quick teaser loop or a slower explanatory animation.
Browser-based conversion: Conversions run locally in your browser using FFmpeg WebAssembly. The engine loads the first time you convert files, which can take a few seconds before processing starts.
Large files and memory use: Large files can take time to process and can use significant browser memory while conversion is running. This is expected because the work happens on the device rather than on a server.
GIF output can be larger: When converting video to GIF, the output can easily become larger than the source MP4 or WebM. Lower width, FPS, or color count if you need a smaller GIF.
Format support depends on the browser: Some uncommon codecs and proprietary formats may still fail to decode depending on browser support, even when the file extension looks valid.
Drop files here or click to upload: Adds one or more files to the conversion queue. Use this when you want to prepare several conversions before running the batch.
Convert all / Convert all again: Runs conversion for every queued file using the current mode and settings. Use Convert all again after changing settings when you want to compare a different output profile.
Download: Downloads the selected converted file. This is useful when you only need one approved output from the batch.
Download all: Downloads all converted files, using a ZIP when more than one output exists. Use this when you are preparing a delivery pack or QA batch.
