Keep GIF vs Convert to Video

When to compress and stay GIF versus converting to MP4/WebM.

Stay as GIF when the destination requires an animated GIF (stickers, some editors, looping previews).

If the platform accepts video, converting GIF → MP4/WebM often yields much smaller files at higher quality.
