Gif to Video
Have you ever seen an animated GIF on a service like Imgur or Gfycat and inspected it in DevTools, only to find out that GIF was really a video? There's a good reason for that. Animated GIFs can be downright huge. It's not uncommon for GIFs to tip the scales at several megabytes, depending on quality, frame rate, and length. If you're trying to improve loading performance for your site and help users reduce data usage, animated GIF just isn't compatible with that goal.Figure 1. Chrome DevTools showing a 13.7 MB GIF. That's bigger than even most websites!

Thankfully, this is one of those areas of loading performance where you can do relatively little work to realize huge gains without sacrificing content quality. In this article, you're going to learn how to do what the GIF hosting sites do to keep their bandwidth bills from going through the roof, and convert those giant GIFs into lean and fast video files!

 You'll then learn how to properly embed these videos in web pages so they behave just like GIFs. Finally, we'll talk a little bit about decoding performance for both GIF and video. Before you know it, you'll be well on your way to shaving megabytes off your GIF-heavy web pages in no time at all!

There are a number of ways you can convert GIFs to video, but ffmpeg is the tool we'll use in this guide. You may already have ffmpeg installed. To check, open a terminal and run the ffmpeg command. If it's installed, you'll see some diagnostic information. If you receive a "command not found" or similar error, you'll need to install it. How you install ffmpeg depends on the platform:
For macOS, you can install via Homebrew or compile it yourself.
For Windows, use Chocolatey.
For Linux, check if your preferred distro's package manager (e.g., apt-get or yum) has a package available.
