Videos don't loop by themselves: repeat a short GIF to make a longer clip.

GIF to Video

Convert an animated GIF to an MP4, WebM or MOV video. Repeat it to make a longer clip; the file stays on your device.

Why use this GIF to video converter

One page for GIF to video in three formats, and the file never leaves your device.

  • Three formats, one tool

    Choose MP4 (H.264), WebM (VP8) or MOV (H.264 in a QuickTime file) before you convert. You do not need a second converter when the file has to open in an Apple editor or on a web page.

  • Much smaller than the GIF

    In our tests a 19.9 MB GIF became a 1.70 MB MP4 and a 4.84 MB WebM, in a few seconds on a laptop browser. A video is not squeezed into a 256-color palette the way a GIF is, which helps when you share it.

  • A clip as long as you need

    A GIF loops by itself; a video does not. Play the GIF once, 2, 3, 5 or 10 times and the video gets that much longer.

  • Nothing is uploaded

    Your browser does the conversion, so the GIF stays with you. The first file loads the converter once and your browser keeps it, so the next GIF to video run starts faster.

  • No watermark, no sign-up

    The video is yours to download as soon as it is done, with no account, no watermark on the picture and no limit on how many files you convert.

How to turn a GIF into video in three steps

Pick the file, the format and the repeats, then download.

  1. 1

    Add your GIF

    Click the picker or drop the .gif on the preview. The first file also loads the converter into your browser, so give it a moment.

  2. 2

    Choose the format and repeats

    Select MP4, WebM or MOV, then how many times to play the GIF: once, 2, 3, 5 or 10. Short loops need more repeats to fill a clip.

  3. 3

    Convert and download

    Press Convert to Video. The result plays in the page with its size before and after. Check it, then download your GIF to video file and use it wherever the format is accepted.

Before you convert GIF to video: what stays and what changes

Your file stays on your device

The conversion runs in your browser and the GIF is never sent to our server. Only the converter itself is downloaded the first time, a one-off step that your browser then reuses. That makes this GIF to video tool safe for private clips, screen recordings and client files.

Transparency and sound

This GIF to video converter turns transparent areas white. GIFs have no sound and the video has none either; add music in a video editor afterward.

What is free

Converting is free, with no watermark, no sign-up and no limit we set on files. Very large GIFs take longer and use more memory, so a phone may struggle with them. A desktop browser handled the 115 MB GIF we tried as MP4 in 14 seconds.

Frequently asked questions

No. The file is processed by your browser on your device and is never sent to our server.

Add the GIF, set Format to MOV, choose how many times to repeat it and press Convert to Video. You get a QuickTime-style MOV file, H.264 inside, that you can download straight away. It is the same GIF to video flow as for MP4.

Open this page in your browser on the Mac, drop the GIF in and pick MOV for QuickTime and Apple editors, or MP4 for everything else. Nothing needs to be installed.

This page goes the other way: it turns a GIF into a video. To make a GIF out of a video clip, use the video to GIF converter on this site.

Yes. MP4 is the first format in the list. Pick it, choose the repeats and download the MP4.

Very small GIFs can grow as WebM. A 34 KB test GIF became 43 KB as WebM but 13 KB as MP4, so try MP4 or MOV if size matters.

Not by itself. A video ends when it ends, so choose how many times to play the GIF, from once to 10. Some players have their own loop switch.

They turn white in the video, because these formats keep no transparency here. Put the GIF on the background you want before you convert if white is wrong.

No. A GIF has no audio to carry over, so the video is silent. Add music or a voiceover in a video editor if you need it.

Yes. There is no watermark, no sign-up and no limit we set on how many GIFs you convert. Your first GIF to video file costs nothing and neither does the tenth.

Choose MP4 for phones, chats and most players, and WebM for video on a web page. MOV is for QuickTime and Apple editing. Their sizes differ, so the table above shows what each did to our test GIFs.

We set none. Because the work happens on your device, a very large GIF needs more memory and time; the 115 MB GIF in our test became an 8.5 MB MP4 in 14 seconds on a desktop.
