yup I too am using the term just to denote a short animated image loop. It's much more efficient to store and send over an mp4 instead which is what I do

- mixmastamyk 9y agoWhy not call it an MP4 then? Due to MP3 it's recognized as much or more than gif.
- abhi3188 9y agodoesn't have the same ring to it.. i made a camera that snaps an MP4 and print it.. GIF is more relatable and is becoming the generic lingo to denote this kind of medium
- kazinator 9y agoIt's a video; a vid. A short video is a clip. Wait; can't call it that because it loops by default. Gif it is, then.
- mixmastamyk 9y agoVid is fine, looping is not the marquee feature. Apple calls them live photos, I like it.
