Comparison between MP4 and GIF

Features MP4 GIF
File Extension .mp4 .gif
Compression Uses lossy compression, which reduces quality but decreases file size Uses lossless compression, which maintains image quality but results in larger file size
Video Quality High-quality video Lower quality compared to MP4
File Size Generally smaller due to better compression Larger due to lossless compression
Common Use Streaming and downloading videos, especially for high-quality content Short animations, memes, website graphics
Compatibility Compatible with most video players and websites Compatible with all web browsers and most picture viewers
Audio Support Supports audio Does not support audio

In summary, MP4 is more suitable for storing high-quality video content, especially for videos that include audio. They are widely used for streaming and downloading video content due to their better compression and compatibility.

On the other hand, GIF is best for short, silent animations, especially for use on websites. As they don't support audio and have larger file sizes due to their lossless compression, they are not ideal for longer or high-quality video content.
