How to convert MP4 to GIF
Upload your MP4
Click 'Choose file' and select your MP4 video. Files stay in your browser — nothing is uploaded to a server.
Set your options
Choose output size, frame rate (15fps recommended for screen recordings), and trim to the exact seconds you need.
Download the GIF
Click Convert and download your GIF. Paste it directly into GitHub, Slack, Notion, or your bug tracker.
Tips for better GIFs
- →Trim to under 10 seconds — GIFs get large fast and slow down GitHub issue comments
- →Use 15fps instead of 30fps for screen recordings — the difference is invisible for slow UI interactions
- →Crop to the relevant region to reduce file size and focus the viewer's attention
- →Test the GIF in a GitHub comment before embedding it in your main bug report

Frequently asked questions
Is this MP4 to GIF converter free?
Yes, completely free. No signup, no account, no watermark on the GIF output.
What's the best file size for an MP4 before converting to GIF?
GIFs are much larger file-size than MP4 for the same duration. For a shareable GIF under 10MB, keep your source clip to 5–10 seconds at 720p or lower.
Can I convert a screen recording to GIF?
Yes. Screen recordings convert well to GIF — particularly short demos and bug reproductions. Keep the clip under 15 seconds for best results.
Will the GIF have audio?
No. GIF is a silent format. Audio from your MP4 will not be included in the output.
How do I reduce GIF file size?
Reduce the frame rate (15fps looks fine for most screen content), reduce the output dimensions, or trim the clip to the essential seconds.
