Supports .gif format
While GIF is widely used, it has significant drawbacks: large file size, only 256 colors, no semi-transparency. Converting to MP4 or WebM offers:
Benefits include: 1) Significantly smaller file size - MP4 is typically 5-10x smaller than GIF; 2) More colors - GIF supports only 256 colors while video supports full color; 3) Smoother playback - video decoding is more efficient; 4) Better web performance - modern browsers recommend using video instead of GIF.
MP4 and WebM formats are supported. MP4 has the widest compatibility across all devices and browsers. WebM is an open format with smaller file sizes, well-supported by Chrome and Firefox. MP4 is recommended as the primary choice.
No. All conversion happens locally in your browser. Your GIF file is never uploaded to any server. The converted video is generated locally and downloaded directly to your device.
The converted video quality is comparable to or better than the original GIF. Since video encoding supports more colors, color reproduction is actually better. You can choose different quality levels to balance file size and visual quality.
GIF uses LZW compression where each frame stores complete image data with no inter-frame compression. MP4/WebM uses modern encoders like H.264/VP8 that support inter-frame predictive compression, storing only the differences between frames, resulting in much smaller file sizes.
