Save GIPHY GIFs as MP4 for WhatsApp or Instagram

For chats and social apps, the MP4 option is usually the better choice.

WhatsApp plays GIFs as short looping videos anyway, and an MP4 is often 3-5 times smaller than the same GIF. It is marked WhatsApp, Instagram in the list of formats.

Instagram does not accept .gif uploads, so post the MP4 instead. GIPHY Clips come as MP4 with sound, so the audio stays.

Already saved a GIF? Turn it into a video with GIF to MP4, or go the other way with Video to GIF.

GIPHY GIFs for Discord: size limits

Discord limits uploads to 20 MB on free accounts.

Every format here shows its size, and anything over 20 MB gets a warning badge. The GIF - under 2 MB option is a safe pick, and a custom server emoji must be under 256 KB.

After a GIF download, the Make it Discord-ready buttons open it in the GIF Resizer with the right preset: a message under 20 MB, an emoji under 256 KB or a 320 x 320 sticker under 512 KB. No second upload needed.

To get under a limit, use Compress GIF, make it smaller with the GIF Resizer, or keep only the best part with the GIF Cutter.

Make WhatsApp and Telegram stickers from GIPHY GIFs

Turn a handful of GIPHY GIFs into your own sticker pack.

Search or paste the GIFs, tick the ones you want and press WhatsApp pack or Telegram pack. Each sticker is resized to 512 px, then its frame rate, quality and length are reduced step by step until it fits - the list shows every size next to the limit.

AppSticker fileLimitsHow to add it
WhatsAppAnimated WebP, 512 x 512, 96 x 96 tray icon500 KB, 10 s, 3-30 per packOpen the .wastickers file in a sticker maker app
TelegramWebM (VP9), 512 px side, no sound256 KB, 3 s, 30 fpsSend the .webm files to the @Stickers bot

Stickers that still do not fit are marked and left out of the pack, so the app will not refuse it. For a sticker from your own GIF, try GIF to WebP or GIF to WebM.

GIPHY stickers with a transparent background

GIPHY stickers are GIFs with no background.

Paste a sticker link, or switch the search to Stickers, and the GIF and WebP files keep the see-through background. The preview shows a checkerboard where it is clear.

Want one frame as a picture? The GIF Frame Extractor saves any frame as a PNG.
