Tool guide
How to turn a GIF into a video file
Use this converter when a GIF needs to become a video for smaller file size, smoother playback, or a platform that prefers video over GIF.
Recording captures whatever the GIF is displaying during the chosen duration, so pick a length that lines up with the GIF's loop. There is no audio track, since GIF has no sound.
Not every browser can record directly to MP4 today. The tool prefers MP4 automatically and only falls back to WebM when MP4 recording isn't available.
Yes. Keep the original GIF for future edits or platforms that specifically require the GIF format.

FAQ
GIF to MP4 Converter FAQ
How do I convert a GIF to MP4 online?
Upload an animated GIF, choose how many seconds to record, then click Convert. The GIF plays back and is captured into a downloadable video file.
Will the download always be an MP4 file?
The tool requests an MP4 recording first. If your browser cannot record directly to MP4, it automatically falls back to WebM, a video format that plays in every modern browser and most players.
Why do I need to choose a duration?
Browsers cannot inspect a GIF's total loop length ahead of time, so you choose how many seconds of playback to capture. Pick a duration that covers at least one full loop of your GIF.
Is my GIF uploaded to a server?
No. The GIF plays and is recorded entirely in your browser using the Canvas and MediaRecorder APIs. Nothing is uploaded.
Is this GIF to MP4 converter free?
Yes. This is a free online GIF to video converter with no account required.
