Frequently asked questions
Will the MP4 loop automatically?
The MP4 itself does not loop — the player has to. In HTML, add autoplay loop muted playsinline on the <video> element.
What if the GIF has a non-even width?
H.264 requires even dimensions; this tool pads odd widths/heights by one pixel so encoding never fails on rare sizes.
Why is the first run slow?
ffmpeg.wasm is ~25 MB and is downloaded once, then cached for instant subsequent runs.
