Why convert MP4 to GIF?
- GIF has excellent compatibility—almost every platform, chat app, and forum supports it, and you can paste it directly as an image.
- GIF is ideal for short looping clips—memes, reactions, and social stickers that play automatically without extra taps.
- GIF is simple and widely recognized; most image viewers and editors can open it for quick edits and cropping.
When should you NOT convert MP4 to GIF?
- When file size matters—GIF is usually much larger than MP4 and often larger than animated WebP.
- When you need a longer clip, playback controls, or audio—GIF loops with no pause and has no sound track.
- If the target platform supports WebP and you want a smaller file, try animated WebP with our MP4 to WebP tool instead.
