About GIF files

GIF is an image format that supports animation. It uses a palette of up to 256 colors. It can loop forever. It does not contain sound. GIF compresses poorly compared to MP4. People use GIFs for short, looping clips without audio.

People convert MP4 and WebP to GIF to make short looping clips. People convert GIF to MP4 to make a video file that is easier to play and often smaller. The hub includes MP4 to GIF, WebP to GIF, and GIF to MP4.

How we convert GIF to other formats

Color output

GIF output is limited to 256 colors. MP4 to GIF builds a custom 256-color palette from your frames and maps each frame with dithering. WebP to GIF uses a palette encoder. Quality High uses 256 colors, Medium 128 and Low 64 for MP4 to GIF. WebP to GIF has no quality setting.

Frame rate

MP4 to GIF uses 15 frames per second by default. GIF to MP4 keeps the frame rate from the GIF unless you set a new one.

Size

MP4 to GIF keeps the video width unless you set one between 16 and 1920 pixels. WebP to GIF keeps the image size unless you set a smaller width or height. GIF to MP4 pads odd widths or heights by one pixel.

Loop and playback

MP4 to GIF loops forever by default. GIF to MP4 does not loop. The index moves to the start of the file so the video starts to play before it finishes downloading.

Video output

GIF to MP4 uses H.264 at CRF 23 with standard 4:2:0 color. The MP4 is silent because a GIF never contains sound.

Common problems and fixes

The GIF is huge.

GIF is far less efficient than MP4. On the GIF converter page, trim the clip to a few seconds, set the width to 480 pixels, and choose Medium quality. For WebP to GIF, set a smaller width.

Colors look banded or grainy.

Use High quality for 256 colors on MP4 to GIF. In a GIF, scenes that have smooth gradients will always display some dithering. Because GIF supports only 256 colors, smooth color shifts turn into visible steps.

The MP4 does not loop and has no sound.

A GIF has a loop flag, an MP4 does not. For the GIF, turn on loop in your player, or use the loop and autoplay options where you embed the video. A GIF never contains sound, so the MP4 is silent too. Add an audio track in a video editor if you need one.
