GIF to Video Converter
Many platforms reject GIF uploads but accept video files. This tool plays your GIF on a canvas and records it in real time — producing an MP4 where your browser supports it, otherwise WebM — ready for social media.
Ready.
How to use
- Choose an animated GIF and check the preview.
- Set the record length so it covers at least one full loop of the animation.
- Click convert, wait while it records in real time, then download the video.
Recording happens by playing the GIF on a canvas in real time, because browsers cannot decode GIF frames directly. Output is MP4 in browsers that support MP4 recording, otherwise WebM, which all major social platforms accept.
Tips
- Set the record length to cover at least one full animation loop, or the video will cut off mid-motion.
- Recording happens in real time, so keep the tab in focus until it finishes.
- If you get WebM instead of MP4, it still works on WhatsApp, Facebook and most uploaders.
- Convert once and reuse the video file — re-recording the same GIF only adds quality loss.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How does the GIF to video converter work?
It plays your GIF on a canvas and records it in real time to WebM, or MP4 where the browser supports it, because browsers cannot decode GIF frames directly.
How long should I record?
Set the record length to cover at least one full loop of the animation.
Which video format will I get?
The tool records to WebM, or MP4 where your browser supports it - whichever format your browser can encode from the canvas recording.
Is my GIF uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser, so your GIF never leaves your device.
