WHAT IT DOES
Re-encode & resize
Animation to video
Modern container
GIFs tend to be huge by spec, but MP4 expresses the same content at roughly 1/10 to 1/20 the size. Useful for staying under social platform upload limits or improving page load times. Some platforms like X (Twitter) re-encode GIF posts to MP4 internally — uploading MP4 directly often yields better quality.
For compatibility, MP4 (H.264). For smaller file size, WebM (VP9). MP4 plays on virtually every platform and device. WebM has wide browser support and tends to be smaller at the same quality. A reasonable rule: MP4 for social posts, WebM for embedding on your own website.

Currently, output is video-only — audio is not included. The tool is aimed at short clips for social and animation assets.
No explicit limit. That said, browser memory is finite — videos over 1–2 GB may fail. Trim long videos first for better stability.
