Why MP4 instead of GIF?
The GIF format dates back to 1987 and stores animations very inefficiently. Saved as MP4 (H.264), the same animation is usually 5 to 10 times smaller, colours look more accurate and playback is smoother.
SEO and page speed
Google PageSpeed Insights warns about large GIFs with 'Use video formats for animated content'. Converting GIFs to MP4 and embedding them as autoplaying, muted, looping videos noticeably speeds up your pages.
Social media compatibility
Some platforms, such as Instagram, don't accept GIF uploads; convert to MP4 to share your animations anywhere. Conversion runs on our server and files are deleted shortly afterwards.

FAQ
Will the MP4 loop like a GIF?
On a web page, add the loop, muted and autoplay attributes to the video tag to play it endlessly like a GIF.
What happens to transparent GIFs?
MP4 doesn't support transparency; transparent areas are filled with a solid background.
Can I send it as a GIF on WhatsApp?
Yes. WhatsApp lets you send short MP4 videos as GIFs.
