Frequently Asked Questions
Why convert a GIF to video at all?
GIF is a genuinely inefficient format for anything beyond a few seconds — a real video codec at the same visual quality is typically a fraction of the file size, and plays back more smoothly since GIF is capped at 256 colors per frame.
Why only MP4, no other format choice?
MP4 (H.264) is the most universally compatible video format, playing correctly everywhere without exception. This keeps the tool simple and reliable rather than offering an extra option that adds complexity without a real benefit for most people converting a GIF.
Is my GIF uploaded anywhere?
No. Conversion happens entirely inside your browser, on your own device.
What's the engine this runs on?
A real, self-hosted build of FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly — about a 30MB one-time download the first time you use any video/audio tool on this site, then cached by your browser for every tool afterward.
