The main advantage of GIF must be its small file size. Being an animated image supporting transport backgrounds, is it commonly used in advertising and company website. Less time and traffic are needed to load the image, which provides better user experience. In addition, GIFs allow users to create different custom animated images to use in different social media and chat rooms, and show their reactions in a fun and attractive way.

MP4, also known as MPEG-4 Part 14, is a standard digital multimedia container format. It is primarily used to store audio and video, but can also include other dates, such as subtitles and still images. As a common video format, it supports streaming on the Internet.

Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) is a file format that supports both still and animated images with 8 bits per pixel. Most social media and communication applications support GIF animation, so it is commonly used to present reactions and emotions.

Although FID can also support animated image, it is different from video. GIF can only choose color from 24-bit RGB color space per pixel, so that its quality will be limited when showing complicated images and image with gradient colors. For MP4, the video is smoother and the color look more natural. There is no limitation on the length of GIF. However, with the limited pixel and quality, its file size will be much smaller.

Yes, we can. GIF supports exporting images with transparent backgrounds, just like what we do with PNG. In addition, since GIF supports displaying animated images, GIF will be more versatile than other image formats.

No, we cannot. Although GIF support animated image, it is still an image format instead of a video format. GIf do not support sound. If we really want to merge the animated image with sound, we can only edit it and then export it as a video.
