Convert GIF to MP4

A GIF is far too heavy for a web page, a message or a social platform that will re-encode it anyway.

Where the streams already fit the target container this is a lossless remux, which is close to instant. Otherwise it re-encodes, which in a browser is slow — keep it under a few hundred MB and send long videos to the cloud engine.

    What actually changes

    GIF and MP4 are not the same picture in two wrappers.

    GIF stores every frame as an independent 256-colour image. H.264 stores the differences between frames and works in full colour, so the same animation commonly drops by 90 percent or more while looking better.

    Worth knowing first

    MP4 has no transparency, so a GIF with a transparent background lands on a solid colour. H.264 also requires even pixel dimensions, so a GIF with an odd width or height gets padded or cropped by a pixel.

    Questions

    GIF to MP4, answered

    Will it autoplay and loop like a GIF?

    Yes, with the autoplay, muted, loop and playsinline attributes on the video element. Muted is mandatory or browsers block autoplay.

    Why is the MP4 so much smaller?

    Inter-frame prediction. A GIF re-sends every pixel of every frame; H.264 sends what changed.

    Do social platforms accept it?

    They prefer it. Most of them convert uploaded GIFs to MP4 on arrival anyway.
