Your files stay on your Mac.
Converting GIF to MPEG turns each animated GIF into an MPEG video file your media player, editor, or streaming pipeline can accept. MPEG supports higher color depth and frame rates than GIF, so your animation carries more visual detail. Set quality to control the balance between file size and fidelity.
Drag one GIF or an entire folder of GIFs into Convertessa. Batch mode queues every file at once so nothing is skipped.
Pick MPEG from the output format list. Set quality to dial in the fidelity you need before the conversion runs.
Hit Convert. Convertessa processes everything locally — files never leave your Mac — and writes MPEG files alongside the originals.
Images, audio, video, documents, archives and eBooks — all converted natively, right on your Mac.
Pick a format you have — see everything Convertessa can turn it into.
Convert hundreds of files at once with per-type group defaults and individual overrides.
First-class support for HEIC, AVIF and WebP — encode and decode, both ways. Read JPEG XL and a dozen more modern formats too.
Drop files anywhere on the window. Native, instant, and exactly what you’d expect on a Mac.
Dial in compression, resolution and bitrate. Keep originals pristine or shrink for sharing.
Never overwrite a file by accident. Convertessa appends safe suffixes automatically.
Every job is logged locally. Re-run a previous conversion or revisit recent outputs in a click.
Bundle your converted files straight into a single ZIP, TAR or 7z — packaged and ready to share the moment a job finishes.
Right-click any file in Finder and choose Convert. A Quick Action handles it on the spot — no need to open the app first.
Shrink Convertessa to a tidy mini window that tucks into a corner — just a drop zone and a format picker for quick, one-off conversions.
No cloud. No account. No upload. Every conversion happens entirely on-device, using the power already in your Mac. What you convert is nobody’s business but yours.
Script conversions, wire them into your build, or batch a folder from the terminal. The same engine, no GUI required.

New formats, new features, and fixes — every release, on the record.
Yes. Convertessa reads each frame of the GIF and encodes it into the MPEG stream at the original resolution, so no frames are dropped or merged.
No. Convertessa runs entirely on your Mac. Your GIF files are never uploaded — conversion happens offline without an internet connection.
Yes. Drop the folder onto Convertessa or run convertessa /path/to/folder --to mpeg in the terminal. Every GIF inside is converted and saved as an MPEG file.
