Why convert GIF to MP4?

Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn and most ad platforms want video, not GIFs. MP4 is also dramatically smaller: a multi-megabyte GIF often becomes a few hundred kilobytes of H.264.

MP4 cannot store transparency, so transparent areas of a GIF become a solid background. Use GIF to WebM or GIF to MOV if you need to keep them.

Frequently asked questions

Will the MP4 loop like a GIF?

The file plays once like any video; on a website add the loop, autoplay and muted attributes to the video tag to make it behave like a GIF.

Why does the MP4 have a black background?

H.264 MP4 has no alpha channel. For transparency use GIF to WebM or GIF to MOV.

Does the MP4 have sound?

GIFs have no audio, so the MP4 is silent.
