WMV
WMV is a popular video format designed primarily for Windows devices. You can upload WMV files to Facebook and YouTube, but not to mobile-based social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok. WMV files can be opened on Windows Media Player or any other native video player on a Windows operating system.
It is a popular storage format for third-party programs storing short animations. Windows Media Video (WMV) files are not compatible with Apple devices like iPhones. All WMV files must be converted before they can be played on Apple's QuickTime Player.
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.
