First file loads the converter engine (~25 MB) — cached after that.
How it works
ConvertCabin loads a local copy of FFmpeg in this browser tab and converts on your device — nothing is uploaded. The first file downloads the engine (~25 MB), then it's cached.
It stays free, unlimited and private, and works offline once loaded.
About GIF to MP4

Frequently asked questions
How do I use GIF to MP4?
Drop a GIF and download the MP4.
Why convert a GIF to MP4?
MP4 is far smaller than GIF for the same animation and plays inline on most platforms.
Is my file uploaded?
No. It is converted on your device by a local copy of FFmpeg and never uploaded.
What is a GIF file?
GIF is a long-standing image format best known for simple animations. It's limited to 256 colors per frame, which makes it perfect for short looping clips but poor for full-color photos.
What is an MP4 file?
MP4 is the most universally compatible video container. It typically holds H.264 video with AAC audio, plays on virtually every device, and balances good quality with reasonable file size.
