MP4
MP4 is one of the most compatible video file formats. You can upload MP4 files to YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, Facebook, and other social media sites. You can also play MP4 files with Windows Media Player, VLC, QuickTime, iPhone, iPad, Android, and almost all media players. MP4 files are popular because they can be viewed almost anywhere, and even with high-quality video, the file sizes remain relatively small, making them easy to share. MP4 is short for 'MPEG4', and is a format that normally contains video and audio, but can also be used to store images and subtitles.
GIF
GIF is an animated graphic or image. Animated GIF images are infinitely looping. You can upload GIF files to Facebook and Twitter. However, it is not a video so you cannot upload GIFs to Instagram or YouTube. You also cannot play GIFs on media players. GIF stands for Graphics Interchange Format. The pronunciation of GIF has been widely debated, whether it should be pronounced as “jiff” or “gif”—with the “g” pronounced like the g in “goat”. GIF files can contain more than one image.
