Why convert a GIF to MP4?

MP4 is usually far smaller than the same GIF and plays more smoothly, especially on mobile and social media.

Will the animation be kept?

Yes. The MP4 contains the same frames and timing as the original GIF, just without the inefficiency.

No. GIFs have no audio, so the MP4 is a silent video.

About GIF to MP4 Conversion

GIFs are easy to share but the format is inefficient, so a short animation can become a surprisingly large file. Converting a GIF to MP4 typically shrinks the size dramatically while keeping the same animation, and MP4 plays more smoothly on phones and social platforms.
