GIF vs MP4, in short
GIF is an animated image format: no sound, up to 256 colours per frame, looping wherever an image can show.
MP4 is the most widely supported video format: phones, browsers, editors and every upload site play it.
The animation is encoded as H.264 video, with no sound track since the GIF has none. Video compression stores only what changes between frames, so the file is usually many times smaller than the GIF.
Frequently
Asked Questions
Does converting GIF to MP4 lose quality?
It's re-encoded once, at good quality settings. Most people won't see a difference.
Does the MP4 have sound?
No. A GIF has no sound to carry over.
How long does it take?
It depends on the length: re-encoding in the browser uses one processor core, so expect a minute or more per minute of video.
Is my file uploaded?
No. It's processed in your browser, on your own device, and never leaves it.
