Turn an animated GIF into a practical MP4 plan. Read the GIF locally, choose FPS, width, quality, background color, and copy a browser-safe export command.
Drop a GIF to read width, height, frame count, approximate duration, and file size. Then prepare an MP4 export plan.
GIF files are inspected locally in your browser. The file is not uploaded to Gogotem.

Use this plan in FFmpeg or a server-side worker. The command flattens transparency, keeps H.264 compatibility, and adds faststart for web playback.
Estimated MP4 size is inside the selected limit.
MP4 does not keep GIF transparency. Pick a background color before export.
ffmpeg -i input.gif -filter_complex "color=c=#ffffff:s=640x360[bg];[0:v]fps=15,scale=640:360:flags=lanczos,format=rgba[fg];[bg][fg]overlay=shortest=1,format=yuv420p" -c:v libx264 -crf 23 -preset medium -movflags +faststart output.mp4Trim the GIF first if the beginning or ending is unnecessary.
Use an even target width and height for H.264 compatibility.
Choose a solid background when the GIF has transparency.
Add -movflags +faststart so the MP4 starts quickly on the web.
Preview the exported MP4 on mobile before publishing.
Save this result, compare previous runs, or share a report.
Animated GIFs are easy to share but often much larger than video. MP4 can preserve motion with a smaller file, smoother playback, and better mobile performance.
No. It reads GIF metadata locally and prepares a conversion plan and FFmpeg command.
Standard MP4 video does not preserve GIF transparency, so transparent pixels need to be flattened onto a color.
Use H.264, yuv420p, even dimensions, and -movflags +faststart.
