Why did my GIF turn into a video on Reddit?

Reddit converts GIFs to MP4 to load faster; it still loops.

Video to GIF for Reddit, X and Instagram

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): Each platform treats GIFs differently. X (Twitter) accepts GIF uploads up to 15 MB on the web and less in the app, so 480 px and 10 fps for a few seconds is safe. Reddit accepts GIFs in image posts and usually converts them to video for playback. Instagram does not take GIF files in posts or Stories; upload the original video clip instead, or use the GIF stickers inside Stories. Facebook accepts GIFs in posts and comments.
