Instagram posts and Reels
Instagram won’t post a GIF from your camera roll. As an MP4 it uploads like any video—loop it a few times so it isn’t over in a second.
Free · No watermark · Nothing uploaded
Turn any GIF into an MP4 video—smaller, full color, and ready for Instagram, TikTok and WhatsApp.
Step 1 · Choose a GIF
Any animated GIF up to 50 MB. It’s converted in your browser and never uploaded.

Sticker Kitchen’s GIF to MP4 converter is a free online tool that encodes an animated GIF as an H.264 MP4 right in your browser. You set the loops, speed and size; nothing is uploaded and there’s no watermark.
Three steps
No software and no uploads—done in your browser in about a minute.
Choose a GIF, drop it in or paste it—up to 50 MB.
Pick how many times it loops, the speed and the output size (original, 720p or 1080p). Transparent GIFs get a white or black background.
Convert in seconds, then download or save the MP4 to your photos and post it anywhere.
GIF vs MP4
For the same animation, MP4 is usually smaller and sharper; GIF wins on looping everywhere.
| GIF | MP4 | |
|---|---|---|
| File size | Large: every frame is stored in full | Usually far smaller: only changes are stored |
| Colors | Up to 256 colors, gradients band | Full color, smoother gradients |
| Looping | Loops on its own | Depends on the player—bake loops into the video |
| Transparency | Supported | Not supported—filled with a solid color |
| Where it works | Chats, web pages, docs | Instagram, TikTok, WhatsApp Status, YouTube Shorts and other video apps |
Where to use it
Instagram won’t post a GIF from your camera roll. As an MP4 it uploads like any video—loop it a few times so it isn’t over in a second.
Short-video apps only take video files. Upscale a reaction GIF to 1080p before posting so it stays sharp.
Some chat apps flatten GIFs into stills; an MP4 keeps the motion.
Swap heavy GIFs for MP4 in PowerPoint, Keynote or on your site—smaller files that load faster.
FAQ
Yes—it’s free and unlimited, with no sign-up and no watermark on the MP4.
Choose your GIF in the converter above, set the loops, speed and size, then press Convert & download MP4. The video is saved to your device in seconds.
No. Your browser decodes the GIF and encodes the MP4 with its built-in video encoder (WebCodecs). Nothing passes through our servers.
An MP4 is usually much smaller than the GIF, shows full color, and is what Instagram, TikTok and other video apps accept.
Not noticeably. MP4 shows more colors than GIF, so the original frames come through intact. Upscaling to 720p or 1080p smooths the edges so it looks sharper on phones.
Not every player loops video, so choose 3, 5 or 10 loops to build them into the file. Most social apps replay videos automatically too.
MP4 has no transparency, so clear areas are filled with white or black—pick one under Transparent background.
No. GIFs carry no audio, so the MP4 is silent—add music in the app you post to.
GIFs up to 50 MB and 600 frames. The video can run up to 120 seconds; anything longer is cut.
Yes. You need a browser with WebCodecs video encoding: current Chrome, Edge or Safari on a computer, Safari on iPhone (iOS 16.4+), or Chrome on Android.
They go in opposite directions. This tool turns a GIF into an MP4 for video apps; MP4 to GIF trims a video into a GIF for chats. Both are free and run in your browser.
