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

it was originally just an image format
