WebM
WebM is used for streaming high-quality videos on the web. You can upload WebM videos to Facebook and YouTube, but not to mobile-based social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok. It is compatible with media players like VLC and Windows Media Player. You cannot play WebM files on QuickTime Media Player.
Content stored as WebM files features instant playback times. It requires a compatible browser to be played, like Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Internet Explorer.
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.
