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.
MOV
MOV is the default video format for videos taken using iPhones, MacBooks, and other Apple devices. You can upload MOV files to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok.
MOV uses an MPEG4 container file format that stores multiple tracks including audio and video tracks, and text. MOV is most commonly used for saving movies and other video files. It is designed primarily for QuickTime Player which is the native media player on Apple Devices. It is sometimes also referred to as 'iMovie video'.
