Two GIF jobs done properly: convert a GIF to a far smaller MP4, or compress the GIF itself by reducing frames, size and colours, with the projected output size shown before you commit to an encode.
How it works
- Drop a GIF, and the frames are decoded on your device.
- Pick MP4, or tune the GIF: width, frame rate, colours.
- Check the size readout, then download the result.
Questions
- Does my file get uploaded?
- No. The models and all processing run inside your browser on your own device. You can verify this yourself: open your browser’s DevTools, watch the Network tab, and process a file: there are no uploads. After the first visit most tools also work fully offline.
- Why convert a GIF to MP4?
- GIF is a 1989 format with 256 colours and no real compression, so an MP4 of the same clip is typically 5–15× smaller and plays everywhere a GIF does. Every major platform already does this conversion to your uploads.
- How does the GIF compressor shrink files?
- Three levers: fewer pixels (width), fewer frames per second, and fewer colours per frame. The projected size updates as you move each one, so you trade quality for bytes deliberately rather than by trial export.
