Convert GIF to Video Online - Free GIF to MP4 Converter

EzyIMG's GIF to Video converter transforms any animated GIF into an MP4 or WebM video file directly in your browser. Converting a GIF to video is ideal for sharing on platforms that compress or block large GIFs, such as Twitter, Discord, WhatsApp, and Instagram, and for embedding animations on websites where video playback is smoother and more efficient than native GIF rendering.

All conversion runs locally using WebAssembly, so your GIF is never sent to any server. No account is required and the output contains no watermark. MP4 output uses the H.264 codec for maximum device compatibility; WebM uses VP9 for smaller file sizes on modern browsers. Both formats loop seamlessly when played with the loop attribute.

How to Use

1
Upload your GIF
Drag and drop an animated GIF file onto the upload area, or click to browse and select one.
2
Select output format
Choose MP4 (H.264) for the broadest compatibility with phones, browsers, and social platforms. Choose WebM (VP9) for smaller file sizes on web pages.
3
Click Convert and download
Click Convert. The GIF is processed locally in your browser using WebAssembly, no file is uploaded. Preview the video and download it when ready.

Key Features

→MP4 output is encoded with H.264 and includes -movflags faststart, which puts the metadata at the front of the file so it starts playing immediately when embedded on a page.
→WebM uses the VP9 codec and preserves alpha transparency via yuva420p, useful if the original GIF has transparent regions.
→Choose MP4 for the widest device and app compatibility, choose WebM when file size on a web page matters more than universal support.
→Odd-numbered GIF dimensions are automatically rounded down to even pixels for MP4 output, since H.264 requires even width and height.
→A converted MP4 or WebM is typically a fraction of the size of the source GIF at equivalent visual quality, since video codecs compress motion far more efficiently than GIF's palette-based frames.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does converting a GIF to video cost anything?

No, it's free with no account needed, nothing added to the output, and no size limit imposed.

Is my GIF uploaded anywhere during the conversion?

No. The H.264/VP9 encode runs inside your browser via WebAssembly, so the file stays on your device the entire time.

What comes out the other end, MP4 or something else?

You choose: MP4 encoded with H.264, or WebM encoded with VP9. Only a GIF is accepted as input.

What's the actual benefit of MP4 over just posting the GIF?

At matching visual quality, MP4 is usually 5-10 times smaller than a GIF, and unlike GIF it plays smoothly with audio support on platforms like Twitter, Discord, and mobile apps.

Does the resulting video auto-repeat the way a GIF does?

Not by itself, MP4 and WebM have no built-in loop flag, but any player or webpage can force looping via the HTML video loop attribute or the platform's own replay setting.
