Questions
GIF to MP4, answered.
Will the MP4 loop like the GIF?
That depends on the player. Most chat apps and websites loop short videos; video players usually play them once.
Why is the MP4 so much smaller?
Video codecs only store what changes between frames and use far better compression than GIF.
