Why turn a GIF into an MP4?
An MP4 version of a GIF is usually much smaller, because video codecs only store what changes between frames and are not limited to 256 colors. Social apps already know this: many convert GIFs to video when you upload them, which can lower quality in ways you don't control. Converting yourself keeps control.
What the GifWrench converter will do
- Convert in your browser, like every GifWrench tool, so files are not uploaded.
- Keep the frame timing of the original GIF.
- Repeat short loops so the video is long enough for platforms that need a minimum length.
What to use until it launches
- To make a GIF small enough to share, use the GIF compressor with a target size.
- To fit a layout, resize or crop it.
