GIF converter

GIF conversions are video work in disguise, so they run on our server engine with native ffmpeg: GIF to MP4 shrinks a heavy animation dramatically, MP4 to GIF makes a clip embeddable where only images are allowed. Uploaded files are deleted within about an hour.

What is GIF?

GIF is the 1987 format that accidentally became the internet's moving-picture currency: a 256-color palette, frame-by-frame animation and universal support everywhere from chat apps to README files. As video it is spectacularly inefficient, which is why a few seconds of GIF can outweigh a minute of MP4. Converting between GIF and real video formats is how clips move between the places that want each.
