Convert animated GIFs to MP4 videos that are far smaller and play on Instagram, X and WhatsApp, with an option to repeat the loop. Runs in your browser.
Works in your browser. What you paste or upload is processed on your device.
Pick one or more animated GIF files, or drag them onto the box.
Choose how many times the animation plays in the MP4. Short GIFs look better repeated 3 or 5 times.
If the GIF has transparent areas, choose white or black to fill them.
Press Convert to MP4, watch the result on the page and download it.
An animated GIF stores every frame as a separate 256-colour image, which makes it heavy. An MP4 stores the same animation as H.264 video, which only records what changes between frames, so the file is usually several times smaller, and it plays in places that don't accept GIFs, such as Instagram posts, Stories, TikTok and video players.
This tool converts GIFs to MP4 in your browser with FFmpeg. It keeps the GIF's own frame timing, encodes H.264 at high quality in the yuv420p format every phone and browser plays, rounds odd sizes to even numbers as H.264 requires, and moves the index to the front of the file so it starts playing straight away. Because a GIF loops forever and an MP4 plays once, you can repeat the animation 2, 3 or 5 times inside the video.
Limits: MP4 has no transparency, so transparent areas are filled with white or black (your choice). The video has no sound. GIFs up to 500 MB, 10 per run.
Most social apps and messaging tools either reject GIFs or quietly turn them into video anyway, often with worse quality. Converting yourself gives you a small, sharp MP4 you control, which also uploads faster and loads quicker on web pages than the original GIF.

A GIF saves each frame as its own image. H.264 video saves the first frame and then mostly the changes, with far better compression, so the same animation usually takes a fraction of the space.
Yes. The MP4 uses H.264 in yuv420p, which Instagram, X, WhatsApp and TikTok accept. Very short GIFs look better repeated 3 or 5 times, so the video doesn't end the moment it starts.
An MP4 plays once unless the app or web page loops it (Instagram and X loop short videos, and web pages can use the loop attribute). That is why the tool can repeat the animation inside the video.
MP4 video can't be transparent, so transparent pixels are filled with the background you choose: white or black.
Yes. Open the page in Safari or Chrome, pick the GIF and convert it. Downloads go to Files on iPhone and to Downloads on Android.
No. The conversion runs in your browser with FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly.
Each tool gives you one free run per day. After that, a run costs 10 credits from a free AI Rank Lab account. One run is one press of the main button, so converting several files together counts once.
Each one opens on its own page and works straight away, with no sign-up.
