Why in Vkontakte GIF files are mp4 output in the player, and in documents to disk they are saved as GIF?

Question

gif

I want also on Wordpress
mp4 "weighs" much less than GIF, thus it plays faster
Yes, some pluses, what can I say
What kind of witchcraft? I can't find the WordPress plugin

Look for plugins for cloud services cloudinary.com/blog/reduce_size_of_animated_gifs_a...
On most hostings and weak vps, you will not be able to convert large GIFs to mp4 due to limits.
