Convert an MP4 to GIF in seconds. Drop a file or paste a link, tune frame rate, palette size and palette accuracy, and download the GIF. Everything runs locally in your browser using WebCodecs — your file is never uploaded to a server, so it stays private and conversion starts instantly. Need more than one operation? Use the "Continue this clip in" links in the workspace — your edits carry over to crop, trim, resize and compress without re-uploading the file.

Frequently asked questions
- Is this MP4-to-GIF converter free?
- Yes. It is completely free with no watermark and no account. Everything runs locally in your browser using WebCodecs — your file is never uploaded to a server, so it stays private and conversion starts instantly.
- Will my file be uploaded anywhere?
- No. The conversion happens entirely on your device. Files you drop never leave your browser.
- How do I keep the GIF file size small?
- Lower the FPS and the palette size (Colors) — fewer frames and fewer colors are the two biggest size reducers. Palette accuracy mostly affects encode time, not file size. For a shorter clip, chain into Trim Video.
