Convert a GIF to MP4
ScreenApp turns a GIF into an MP4 video: you upload the GIF, then run it through the conversion tool in the app, and download the MP4. There is no separate desktop program to install and no watermark added to the result.
What you get:
- An MP4 video made from your uploaded GIF
- no watermark on any recording or export
- bulk upload of multiple files, so several GIFs convert in one batch
- A file you download and use anywhere MP4 is accepted: social platforms, messaging apps, and video editors
- Free to try: 3 uploads on the free plan, up to 2 GB each in the free online tool
How to Convert GIF to MP4
- Upload your GIF: from a computer, phone, or tablet. The free online tool takes files up to 2 GB.
- Convert it in the app: open the file and run the GIF to MP4 conversion tool. It processes the animation and produces an MP4 video.
- Download the MP4: save the finished video to your device and share it wherever video is accepted.
GIF files use old, simple compression, so the same clip is usually a much smaller file once it is a video. Quality going in still matters: a GIF saved with fewer colors or a lower frame rate converts to a video with those same limits, since converting the container does not add detail that was never in the source.

Who Converts GIF to MP4
Social media managers convert GIFs to MP4 before uploading to Instagram Stories, TikTok, or YouTube, since those platforms are built for video, not animated images.
Meme creators and marketers turn a GIF into an MP4 clip that plays smoothly and compresses far better when it gets reposted on a platform that re-encodes every upload.
Website owners convert GIFs used in page headers or product demos to MP4 to cut page weight, since old GIF compression makes a file far larger than a video of the same clip.
Messaging app users convert a large GIF to a smaller MP4 before sending it over WhatsApp, Telegram, or Discord, where a big attachment is slow to send and receive.
Video editors convert a GIF clip to MP4 before importing it into editing software, since most editors, including Premiere Pro and Final Cut Pro, work with video formats and not animated images.
