About the formats
GIF image
GIF is a classic format limited to 256 colours but able to hold short looping animations. It remains the lingua franca of reaction clips and simple web animations.
Strengths

- Tiny files for simple graphics
- Supports basic transparency
Limitations
- Only 256 colours — poor for photos
- Large files for longer animations
- No partial transparency or sound
Best for: Short looping animations, memes and simple flat graphics shared across the web.
MP3 audio
MP3 is the world’s most compatible audio format. Its lossy compression makes small files that play on every device and app, which is why it is still the default for music and podcasts.
Strengths
- Plays on virtually everything
- Small, convenient files
- Adjustable bitrate
Limitations
- Lossy — discards some audio detail
- Not ideal for archiving
- No lossless option
Best for: Music, podcasts and voice that need to play everywhere at a small size.
