# Convert MP4 to GIF online (free, no watermark)

Turn an MP4 clip into a looping GIF for chats, docs, and social, right in your browser. Your video never leaves your device.

1

Upload your MP4

Drop any .mp4 file. Processing happens in your browser.

2

Set length and fps

Trim the clip and pick a frame rate to balance smoothness against size.

3

Download the GIF

Save a looping GIF ready to paste anywhere.

## Questions & answers

### Why is my GIF bigger than the original video?

GIF is an old format with weak compression, so long or high-resolution clips balloon in size. Keep it short and reduce the dimensions to stay small.

### Does my video get uploaded?

No. The conversion runs in your browser, your video never leaves your device, and we keep nothing.

### Can I control the frame rate and length?

Yes. Set the fps (10-15fps keeps files small) and trim the start and end before exporting.

### Do I need the audio kept?

GIF has no audio. To keep sound, export MP4 with the [format converter](/tools/video-format-converter) instead.

## Stop editing one clip at a time.
