GIF has no audio track and no quality slider in the CRF sense — output size and clarity are controlled by frame rate and width instead. Lower frame rate (10-15fps is often enough for a short loop) and a narrower width both shrink the file noticeably, which matters because GIF's compression is far less efficient than a real video codec, so even a short clip can produce a surprisingly large file at full frame rate and width.
MP4 specifically gets its own conversion page here because it's the format the overwhelming majority of phones, screen recorders, and downloaded videos already use — you're very likely starting from an MP4 file if you're making a GIF from a video you already have, rather than from some other container.
If your source clip is longer than the section you actually want animated, trim it first with the site's Trim Video tool — GIF file size scales directly with duration, so cutting a 30-second clip down to the 3-second moment you actually need is usually the single biggest size reduction available, more effective than pushing frame rate or width lower.
The audio track, if your MP4 has one, is discarded entirely during conversion — this is expected and unavoidable, since the GIF format itself has no audio capability at all, not a setting this tool could add even if it wanted to.

FAQ
How do I convert MP4 to GIF for free?
Upload the MP4, set frame rate and width, and run the tool. The whole workflow happens in your browser with no signup.
Why is my GIF file so much larger than the source MP4?
GIF compression is far less efficient than video codecs like H.264. Lowering frame rate and width, or trimming the clip shorter first, are the most effective ways to bring the size down.
Will the audio from my MP4 carry over?
No. GIF has no audio capability at all, so the audio track is discarded during conversion regardless of any setting.
Is my video uploaded to a server?
No. Conversion runs locally in your browser using FFmpeg WebAssembly.
What's the best way to shrink a long clip's GIF output?
Trim it shorter first using the site's Trim Video tool, since GIF file size scales directly with duration — that's usually more effective than lowering frame rate or width alone.
