Frequently asked questions

How much smaller is the MP4?

Typically five to twenty times, because H.264 stores the difference between frames while GIF writes a full palette-indexed image for each one.

Why do platforms prefer MP4?

Bandwidth. Twitter and Discord already convert uploaded GIFs to video on their side, so handing them an MP4 skips a re-encode and keeps the quality you chose.

Does the MP4 loop?

Not by itself. Looping is a player attribute, so add the loop attribute on a video tag, or rely on the platform, which usually loops short clips.

Is there audio?

No, GIF has no audio track so the MP4 comes out silent. Add a track afterwards with the add audio to video tool if you need one.
