Frequently asked questions

How do I convert MP4 to GIF online?
Upload your MP4 file. The tool uses FFmpeg.wasm in your browser to convert it to GIF. Click "Convert to GIF"; a progress bar shows while processing. When done, download the GIF. Everything runs in your browser; no data is sent to any server. Note: GIF files are typically larger than MP4; for web use, consider keeping MP4 when possible.
Why convert MP4 to GIF?
GIF is supported everywhere and can be embedded in older systems, emails, or platforms that do not support video. Converting MP4 to GIF is useful when you need a single file that plays automatically without a video player. Note: GIF is usually larger than MP4; use when GIF is required.
Are my files sent to a server?
No. Conversion runs entirely in your browser using FFmpeg.wasm. Your MP4 never leaves your device.
Why does FFmpeg take a few seconds to load?
FFmpeg.wasm is a large WebAssembly module. It is downloaded once (from a CDN) and then cached by the browser. The first time you use the tool or after clearing cache, you will see a loading state for a few seconds.
Why is the GIF so large?
GIF is a legacy format and is less efficient than video (MP4). The tool uses fps=10 and scale=480 to keep the GIF at a reasonable size, but it will often be larger than the original MP4. For web use, consider keeping MP4 when the platform supports it.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes, in browsers that support WebAssembly. Chrome and Safari on mobile work. Conversion may take longer on slower devices.
Can I convert GIF to MP4?
This tool is for MP4 to GIF only. Use the GIF to MP4 tool for the reverse conversion (GIF to MP4 produces smaller files).
What is the output size and quality?
The tool uses 10 fps and a maximum width of 480 px to keep the GIF at a reasonable file size. Quality is good for short clips; for long videos the GIF can become very large.
Is there a file size limit?
Practical limits depend on your device memory. Very long or high-resolution MP4s may take a long time and produce very large GIFs. Short clips (e.g. under 30 seconds) work best.
Does it work in all browsers?
FFmpeg.wasm requires a modern browser with WebAssembly support. Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge (recent versions) work. Some corporate or very old browsers may not support it.
