Why Use Our MP4 to GIF Converter?
Optimized Color Palette
Uses FFmpeg's two-pass palette technique instead of a naive conversion, giving noticeably better color quality at the same file size.
Adjustable Frame Rate
Choose 8, 10, 15, or 24 frames per second to balance smoothness against file size.
Adjustable Width
Output at 320, 480, or 640 pixels wide - smaller widths keep GIF file sizes manageable for sharing.
Long Clip Warning
Get a clear warning if your clip is long enough that the resulting GIF is likely to be very large.
100% Private
Your video is never uploaded anywhere. Conversion runs locally in your browser.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my video uploaded to a server?
No. Conversion runs entirely in your browser.
Why is my GIF so large?
GIFs are not efficiently compressed compared to video formats. Lower the frame rate or width, or trim the clip shorter, to reduce the file size.
Can I control the GIF's quality?
Yes. Choose the frame rate (8-24 fps) and output width (320-640px) before converting.
Is this tool free?
Yes. It's free to use with no sign-up.
