  2. Your browser converts them to GIF. Nothing is uploaded.
  3. Download the result, or a ZIP when there are several files.

Good to know: Set the start time, length, width and frame rate under Options. Up to 200 MB per file. Each file counts as one conversion. Not on webfrens.com.

About the formats

MP4: The everyday video format that plays on phones, browsers and TVs.

GIF: Short looping animations with up to 256 colours.

Free limit

This counts as one conversion. You get 5 every 30 minutes for free. Each file counts as one, so a batch of three files uses three.

Questions and answers

How do I convert MP4 to GIF?

Drop your MP4 on this page, set the start time and length under Options, then press Convert. You get a looping GIF of up to 15 seconds.

Will I lose quality?

GIF has only 256 colours, so smooth gradients can look banded. Convurx makes a colour palette for each clip, and you can set the width and frame rate under Options.

Can I convert several files at once?

Yes. Several files download together as a ZIP. Each file counts as one conversion, so three files use three of your free conversions.

Why does it take a while?

Your own device converts the video, with no server, and the converter is about 30 MB to download the first time. Phones are slower than computers, so short clips work best.
