how to mp4 to gif for email
- drop your mp4 file onto the box above.
- set the start and end, and loop the preview to check it.
- pick fit a file size and a limit, or choose fps and width.
- press make gif and download the result.
most email templates are about 600 px wide and many clients, notably outlook on windows, only show the first frame of an animated gif. so make sure frame one tells the story on its own: trim to start on a good frame.
keep gifs under 1 to 2 mb so the message loads fast on mobile data. 10 fps is enough for UI demos, and a loop of 2 to 3 seconds is easy to follow. for a product walkthrough, link to a video instead of embedding.

frequently asked questions
will it animate in outlook?
older desktop versions of outlook show only the first frame. newer outlook, gmail and apple mail animate it. design the first frame so it still makes sense.
what size should an email gif be?
under 1 to 2 mb and no wider than 600 px. this preset targets 2 mb at 480 px.
can i paste the gif straight into an email?
download it, then attach it or insert it as an inline image in your email client. we do not host the file.
