What Is GIF to MP4 Conversion?

Converting a GIF to MP4 replaces the old, inefficient animated GIF format with a modern video codec. MP4 files are typically 10–20x smaller than the equivalent GIF while providing smoother playback and better colour support.

ToolPop converts animated GIFs to MP4 in the browser, producing a file ready to autoplay on websites or be shared across social platforms.
