MP4 to GIF — Free, Online, No Upload
MP4 to GIF conversion looks bad with naive tools because GIF only supports 256 colors. This converter extracts a custom palette per clip — colors stay vivid even at small sizes.

Why use this MP4 to GIF?
- Custom palette per clip — far better than the default 216-color web palette.
- Adjustable FPS, width, and dithering for fine-grained quality vs size control.
- No upload, no watermark, no signup.
- Output works in Slack, GitHub, Reddit, Twitter, and any inline-GIF context.
How to use it
Drop the MP4 into the converter
Any MP4 works — phone, screen capture, or downloaded clips.
Pick FPS and width
12–15 fps and 360–480 px width keep file size under 5 MB for typical clips.
Convert with custom palette
The tool runs a two-pass FFmpeg pipeline: palettegen → paletteuse for optimal color accuracy.
FAQ
Why does my GIF look posterized?
Default conversion uses the web palette (216 colors). This tool extracts the optimal 256 colors specific to your clip, which dramatically improves sharpness for stylized footage.
Is there an MP4-to-GIF size limit?
No hard limit beyond browser memory (~2 GB MP4 input is fine). Output GIF size scales with FPS × width × duration — keep them modest for share-friendly files.
Does this run in my browser?
Yes — the tool uses FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly. Your file never uploads to a server, never leaves your device, and there is no signup or watermark.
