GIFs sucks. Most popular GIFs are video chunks played in loop. So reverse the process and convert GIF to video. With web app as 011.video for instance you can reduce the file size by a factor of 10 easily, just upload GIF, resize and download WebM video. Even better, for your own website use the original video chunk, play it in loops and make it clickable with HTML 5.

Don't get tricked by the "GIF" names. Ex. Giphy will only use GIF if videos do not work. They mostly use video formats.

I assume it's the same for RightGIF?
