For Apple editing apps
iMovie and Final Cut treat GIFs as still images or refuse them. A MOV with H.264 imports cleanly on any Mac or iPhone and keeps the animation timing.
Good to know
GIF frame timing is kept, so the video plays at the same speed as the GIF. Width and height are rounded to even numbers because H.264 and VP8 require it. The output is silent, since GIFs carry no sound.
Supported files
Animated and still GIF files. Files up to 1 GB each.
Frequently asked questions
Will the MOV have a transparent background?
No, the MOV uses H.264, which has no transparency. Transparent areas become black.
Is the GIF to MOV Converter free?
Yes, completely free, with no sign-up and no watermark. Files up to 1 GB each can be converted, and there is no daily limit.
Do you keep a copy of my files?
We never receive them. All processing happens on your device, so there is nothing for us to store or delete.
Can I use it on my phone?
Yes. Open the page in your phone's browser and choose a file. Phones have less memory than computers, so very large files are better converted on a laptop or desktop.
