MP4

MP4 is one of the most widely supported video containers for web, mobile, social media, presentations, and everyday playback. It balances quality, compatibility, and file size well when paired with common codecs.

GIF

GIF is a bitmap format best known for simple looping animations. It is easy to embed in chats, help articles, and web pages, but it is limited to a 256-color palette and does not carry audio.
