Frequently Asked Questions

MP4 videos are typically 80-90% smaller than the original GIF. A 10MB GIF might become a 1-2MB MP4 with the same visual quality. The actual reduction depends on the content - solid colors compress better than complex gradients.

Choose MP4 for maximum compatibility - it works on virtually all devices and platforms. WebM offers slightly better compression but isn't supported on older browsers or iOS Safari. For web use where you control the player, WebM is excellent.

Videos don't have built-in infinite looping like GIFs. However, you can choose to repeat the animation multiple times in the output video, or use the HTML5 video "loop" attribute when embedding. Most video players also have a loop option.

No, your GIF is processed entirely in your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. The file never leaves your device, ensuring complete privacy. This also means conversion works offline once the page is loaded.

Yes! Use our Video to GIF converter to convert MP4 or WebM files back to animated GIFs. Keep in mind that converting back will increase file size again due to GIF's limitations.
