Frequently Asked Questions
How much smaller will the MP4 be compared to the GIF? +
MP4 files are typically 5-20x smaller than the equivalent GIF. A 10 MB GIF might become a 500 KB to 2 MB MP4, depending on content complexity and resolution.
Will the MP4 loop like the original GIF? +
MP4 files do not have a built-in loop flag like GIFs. However, most video players and HTML5 video elements can be set to loop playback. The video itself is a single play-through.
Can I embed the MP4 on a website instead of a GIF? +
Yes. Using an HTML5 video tag with autoplay, loop, and muted attributes gives the same visual effect as a GIF but with much smaller file sizes. This is the recommended approach for web performance.
Why does conversion take a while? +
The conversion runs FFmpeg entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. The first conversion loads the FFmpeg engine (~24 MB), which is cached for subsequent conversions. Large GIFs also take longer to encode as video.
