Turn a short MP4 clip into an animated GIF you can paste into Slack, Discord, GitHub issues, or any platform that strips embedded video. Keep the clip under 10 seconds for a reasonable file size — a 5-second GIF at 480p typically lands around 2–4 MB.
MP4 (MPEG-4 Part 14) is the most widely supported video container on the planet. It packs H.264 or H.265 video with AAC audio into a single file that plays natively on iPhone, Android, Windows, macOS, web browsers, smart TVs, and every modern editor. Use MP4 when you need a finished, shareable video that will just work, anywhere, without re-encoding.
GIF is a 256-color animated image format from 1987. Despite being technically obsolete (MP4 and WEBP both look better at a fraction of the size), GIF remains the universal currency of memes, reactions, and chat platforms that strip embedded video. Keep GIFs short — under 10 seconds — to avoid massive file sizes.
