Animated GIFs can be 5-20x larger than the equivalent MP4 video. However, MP4
videos can be configured to look and feel like GIFs by including the autoplay loop
muted playsinline
attributes on the <video>
tag. In addition, to prevent
layout shifts, make sure to set the width
and height
attributes. For
instructions on converting GIFs to MP4, see Create MPEG
Videos.
