Turn animated AVIF into a small WebM video for websites, Discord and HTML5 players - for phones, TVs and social apps pick AVIF to MP4.
Embedding it on a page? Use a video tag with autoplay, muted, loop and playsinline - it behaves like a GIF at a fraction of the size.
WebM is the open video format of the web.
A muted, looping WebM in a video tag replaces a heavy GIF at a fraction of the size, and every modern browser plays it.
Discord, Telegram and most HTML5 players handle it too.

Yes. A still image becomes a video of 3 to 60 seconds.
