Convert MP4 to GIF

Turn a short MP4 clip into a silent GIF for chats, previews, and simple embeds. The GIF is capped at 480px wide and 12fps so the file stays reasonable; long videos still make very large GIFs.

About MP4 and GIF conversion

GIF is useful when you need a looping animation that behaves like an image instead of a full video player. This converter decodes the MP4 in the browser, builds a color palette, and writes an animated GIF without uploading the clip.

The output is intentionally smaller than the source video. GIF has no audio, and this pair downscales frames to a maximum width of 480px at 12fps because full-resolution video GIFs become huge quickly.

Use MP4 to GIF for short reactions, product snippets, support captures, or lightweight visual notes. The same ffmpeg.wasm engine loads from this site at roughly 31 MB, then conversion runs locally with the existing 512 MB input limit.

FAQ

Will the GIF keep audio from my MP4?

No. GIF is silent by format, so the output keeps only the moving image frames from the MP4.

Why is the GIF downscaled to 480px and 12fps?

Those caps keep browser conversion and download size practical. A full-resolution, full-frame-rate GIF can become much larger than the original MP4.

Is MP4 to GIF good for long videos?

No. It is best for short clips because animated GIFs grow quickly and browser ffmpeg keeps media data in memory.
