While we're at it, just leave gifs as gifs. I have a mp4 to gif converter bookmarked.

It's heavy as shit

Try converting a video to a gif. It gains gif artifacts and like thrice the file size

Gif is abhorrent at best

I tried converting an animation I commissoned to a gif from 30mb to 10mb and it was mutilated, shit either needs to drastically increase file size limits, or allow other formats for animated things

Lossy conversion with lossy source.

I recommend you to just rename the file, and not change the format, like you can rename a webp to a gif, most programs will read it just fine, and people don't hate you for it. If people don't understand something, they don't like it.

no, now go drive a 1940s car with leaded fuel because that's an option you can take
