Frequently Asked Questions

Videos are far more efficient than GIFs. A 5MB GIF often becomes a 500KB video with better quality. Videos also support variable frame rates, audio, and better compression. Most platforms now autoplay videos like GIFs, making MP4/WebM the better choice for sharing animated content.

MP4 (H.264) has the widest compatibility, working on all devices, browsers, and social platforms. WebM (VP9) offers slightly better compression but has limited iOS/Safari support. Choose MP4 for maximum compatibility, WebM for web-only content where file size matters most.

Typically 5-10x smaller than the original GIF. A 10MB GIF often converts to 1-2MB video with similar or better visual quality. The savings come from inter-frame compression—videos only store what changes between frames, while GIFs store complete frames.

Video files themselves don't loop by default, but most social platforms (Twitter, Instagram, Reddit) and web players loop short videos automatically. You can also enable looping in video players or add the 'loop' attribute when embedding in HTML.

Medium quality (CRF 28) works for most content, balancing quality and file size. Use High (CRF 23) for content you'll share widely or need to look crisp. Low quality (CRF 33) is fine for previews or when file size is critical.

This tool converts GIFs to silent videos. To add audio, use a video editor after conversion, or use our video merger tool to combine the converted video with an audio track. GIFs inherently have no sound.

By default, the video keeps the original GIF resolution. You can optionally scale up to 720p or 1080p for higher resolution output, though this won't add detail—it just makes the video larger for platforms that prefer higher resolutions.

Conversion happens entirely in your browser using FFmpeg WebAssembly. Speed depends on your device's CPU, the GIF's dimensions, frame count, and selected quality. Desktop computers convert faster than phones. A typical GIF takes 10-30 seconds.

No. All processing happens locally in your browser. Your GIF never leaves your device, making this completely private. You can even use it offline after the page loads. No servers, no uploads, no data collection.

MP4 works everywhere: Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, TikTok, YouTube, and all browsers. WebM works on Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Android, and web players, but has limited iOS/Safari support.
