Use your own file and inspect a downloadable result before building anything.
Real media processing
Uppy sends the upload into a live Transloadit Assembly, not a browser-only mock.
Designed for quick tests
Files are processed temporarily, so you can evaluate the result before keeping anything.

Frequently asked questions
How does the GIF to video tool work?
Upload a supported file (GIF), run the tool, and download the result (MP4 video). The page sends your upload through Uppy into a real Transloadit Assembly, so the result demonstrates the same processing platform available through the API.
What is the maximum file size?
Files can be up to 25 MB on this public utility. Production workflows can accept larger files, process batches, import directly from cloud storage, and create several outputs in parallel.
Are uploaded files stored permanently?
The public tool processes files temporarily. Do not upload sensitive material. A production workspace gives you control over authentication, storage destinations, and retention.
Can I automate GIF to video with an API?
Yes. The same processing capability is available through reusable Transloadit Templates. Trigger it from Uppy, a backend SDK, an API request, or a Smart CDN URL, then send results to storage and services you control.
What other file tools are available?
Browse the Video tools category for related utilities. Each page runs a real upload and produces a downloadable result.
Automate “GIF to video” in your product
A production video workflow can create playback renditions, thumbnails, captions, previews, and exports at the same time. Transloadit handles the heavy processing while your product stays focused on viewers.
Reliable playback
Encode uploads into tested playback formats for browsers, mobile apps, and TVs.
HLS and DASH
Create adaptive streaming renditions that respond to the viewer’s connection.
A complete asset set
Generate thumbnails, animated previews, subtitles, and audio alongside video.
Parallel workflows
Run encoding, transcription, moderation, and export Steps concurrently.
Resilient ingestion
Import large sources directly from cloud storage instead of routing through your app.
Global delivery
Distribute results globally and keep repeat requests close to every viewer.
Serve MP4 video only when a screen requests it
Smart CDN combines a reusable Transloadit Template with URL parameters and global caching. The live example below changes to match this kind of media.
Choose the image layout
What changes at the edge
One source can fill a landscape hero, a square card, or a portrait feed slot. The URL asks for the layout and Smart CDN caches it.
Fetching this variant…A streaming pipeline
Produce adaptive streams, poster frames, and captions from every upload.
A content distribution engine
Create short previews and social-ready versions alongside the full video.
An automated media intake
Transcribe, moderate, and route video without moving bytes through your backend.
Process uploads, batches, and cloud files with one workflow
Move this same capability into your product: process customer uploads and cloud files, then route the results to storage, webhooks, and delivery.
