GIF to MP4

MP4 is what most social apps actually play: Instagram and TikTok do not accept GIF uploads at all, and X, WhatsApp and Telegram convert GIFs to video behind the scenes. Converting yourself gives you a small, sharp file that loops.

GIF to MP4 in three steps

  1. Drop the GIF.

  2. Choose a size (1080 px for Instagram).

  3. Make the MP4 and download it.

How it works

GifCraft decodes the GIF frames, then uses your browser’s built-in H.264 encoder (WebCodecs) to write an MP4. Chrome, Edge and Safari 16.4+ support it. On browsers without an H.264 encoder, GifCraft records a WebM instead.

Questions

Is anything uploaded?

No. All processing happens in your browser tab. Your files never leave your device.

Will the MP4 loop?

MP4 files have no loop flag; the player decides. Instagram, TikTok and most chat apps loop short silent videos automatically.
