Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I convert GIF to MP4?

MP4 files are 5–20x smaller than equivalent GIFs while looking the same or better. Smaller files load faster, use less bandwidth, and are more compatible with social media platforms which often re-encode or block large GIFs.

Does MP4 support animation like GIF?

Yes. MP4 videos play back frame by frame just like animated GIFs. When set to autoplay and loop (using HTML attributes or platform settings), they are visually indistinguishable from animated GIFs.

What is the difference between GIF to MP4 and GIF to WebM?

MP4 (H.264) has the widest compatibility — it plays on virtually every device and browser. WebM (VP9) is a modern open format that supports transparent video and is slightly better for web streaming, but not all apps support it.

Will the converted video have sound?

No. Animated GIFs have no audio track, so the converted MP4 or WebM file will also be silent. If you need to add audio, use ezyimg's Add Sound to Video tool afterwards.

Is there a size limit for GIF to video conversion?

No server-side limit exists since all processing happens in your browser. Very large GIFs (above 50MB) may take a few minutes to process depending on your device.
