GIF converter
GIF is universal for short animations but takes a lot of space and has no sound. Converting to MP4 or WebM reduces size and improves quality, while reverse conversion helps send an animation to a chat.

When to replace GIF with video
For a website and social media, MP4 or WebM weigh less and play smoother. GIF remains convenient for chats, forums and email where video may not be supported.
Limitations
GIF contains no audio. Converting to video will not add a sound track. Duration and resolution are limited to keep the server stable.
Format questions
Why is GIF so large?
GIF stores every frame separately and uses a limited palette. Video formats compress frames more efficiently.
Is animation preserved?
Yes. MP4 and WebM keep the animation, and reverse conversion to GIF also transfers the frame sequence.
Can I add audio to GIF?
No, GIF does not support audio. Use MP4 or WebM for sound.
