Convert an MP4 video to a GIF
MP4 is the format most phones and cameras record in, and it's the most common source for a GIF. This converter takes an MP4, lets you pick the exact moment and length you want, and renders an animated GIF with a high-quality colour palette so it looks crisp.
It runs entirely in your browser using a WebAssembly build of FFmpeg, which loads once and is then cached. Your MP4 is read locally on your device. For the best balance of quality and size, keep the clip short.
How to convert MP4 to GIF
- Choose your MP4. Open the Video tab and pick your MP4 file.
- Trim and set quality. Set a start point and duration, then choose the frames-per-second and width.
- Convert & download. Click Video to GIF — the engine loads once, then makes your GIF to download.
Best settings for MP4 to GIF
Most clips look great at 12–15 fps and a width near 480px. Higher frame rates and widths look smoother and sharper but make the GIF much larger, so raise them only when you need to.

How do I convert an MP4 to a GIF?
Open the Video tab, pick your MP4, set a start point, duration, fps, and width, then click Video to GIF.
Is there a length limit?
There's no hard limit, but long clips make very large GIFs. A few seconds is ideal for a shareable file.
Does the MP4 keep its sound?
No — GIFs are silent by design, so only the picture is converted.
Where is my video processed?
The GIF is built in your browser, so the new file is created on your own device. How any data associated with the tool is handled is described in our privacy policy.
