Frequently Asked Questions
GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) is a bitmap image format that supports both static and animated images. It uses lossless compression and supports up to 256 colors per frame, making it popular for simple animations and memes.
To convert animated GIF to MP4, upload your GIF file using our converter above, select MP4 as the output format, and click convert. This creates a video file that's typically much smaller than the original GIF.
Yes, GIF supports transparency, but only binary transparency (fully transparent or fully opaque pixels). For more advanced transparency effects with varying opacity levels, consider using PNG or WebP formats.
GIF files can be large because they store each frame of animation separately and use a limited color palette. For smaller animated files, consider converting to WebP or MP4 formats.
Use GIF for simple animations, memes, images with limited colors, retro-style graphics, and when you need broad compatibility across all devices and platforms.
To reduce GIF size: decrease dimensions, reduce colors (use fewer than 256), lower frame rate, remove duplicate frames, optimize with dithering, or convert to WebP/MP4 for better compression. Our converter offers optimization settings.
Our converter can extract individual frames from GIF animations or convert the entire animation to other formats. For advanced editing, convert to MP4 first, edit with video software, then convert back if needed.
APNG (Animated PNG) supports 24-bit colors and better transparency than GIF's 256 colors. However, GIF has universal browser support while APNG support is limited. GIF remains the standard for animated images.
Upload your animated GIF, select WebP as output format, and enable animation settings. WebP animations are typically 50-80% smaller than GIF while supporting better colors and transparency.
GIF animations can be set to loop infinitely, play once, or repeat a specific number of times. This is controlled by the loop count setting in the file. Our converter allows you to set loop behavior during conversion.
