Convert MP4 to GIF

MP4 videos are great for watching, but GIFs go places videos can't. GIFs autoplay silently in emails, Slack messages, GitHub READMEs, forums, and anywhere HTML is rendered. They loop infinitely, need no player, and work on every device ever made.

Whether you're creating reaction memes for social media, product demos for landing pages, UI animations for documentation, or tutorial snippets for blog posts — converting your MP4 to GIF is the fastest way to make your content autoplay everywhere.

Most MP4-to-GIF converters use a basic single-pass approach, cramming your video into a generic 256-color palette. The result? Washed-out colors, ugly banding, and bloated file sizes.

Our converter uses a professional two-pass palette method: first, it scans every frame of your MP4 to generate an optimal 256-color palette unique to your video. Then it encodes the GIF using that custom palette. The result is dramatically better color accuracy, smoother gradients, and smaller file sizes.

• Keep duration short (2-10 seconds) for smaller, faster-loading GIFs
• Use 10 FPS for the best balance of smoothness and file size
• Choose 320-480px width for web use — it's plenty for most screens
• Scenes with less motion compress dramatically better as GIF
• High-contrast scenes with fewer colors produce the best results
• Avoid fine text and small details — they lose clarity in GIF format
