Processed locally in your browser — nothing is uploaded.
MP4 is the format most videos come in — phone recordings, screen captures, downloads — so it's the most common starting point for making a GIF. MP4 to GIF converts your clip into a looping animated GIF in your browser, with nothing uploaded, so it works even for a private screen recording.
How to mp4 to gif
- 1. Add your MP4 video.
- 2. The clip is converted to an animated GIF frame by frame.
- 3. Download the GIF.
When to use MP4 to GIF
Screen recordings
Most screen-capture tools export MP4 — turn that recording into a GIF that autoplays in issues and chats.
Phone video clips
Convert a short MP4 from your phone into a shareable looping GIF.
Downloaded clips
Turn a saved MP4 moment into a reusable reaction GIF.
Trim before you convert
GIF size scales with clip length, so convert only the seconds you need. A 3–5 second MP4 makes a nicely shareable GIF; a 30-second one becomes an unwieldy file. If yours is long, shorten it first, and resize down if the dimensions are large.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a length limit?
No fixed limit, but longer clips make much larger GIFs. Keep it to a few seconds for a manageable file.
Is my MP4 uploaded?
No — the conversion runs in your browser with ffmpeg, so your video stays on your device.
Can I make the GIF smaller?
Yes — resize it or run it through Compress GIF after converting.
