About GIF
GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) dates from 1987. An animated GIF is a sequence of frames, each limited to a palette of at most 256 colours, and it has no sound.
Short looping animations, reactions and simple graphics on websites, in chats and on social media.
Because of the 256-colour limit and frame-by-frame storage, animated GIFs are large and show banding on photographic video.

Why does my GIF look blurry and washed out? The format allows at most 256 colours per frame, so photos and gradients lose detail — a real image or video format keeps them.
About Ogg Video
Ogg Video (OGV) is the open Ogg container from the Xiph.Org Foundation holding Theora video, usually with Vorbis audio.
Open-source projects and Wikimedia Commons, which accepts video only in free formats.
Theora compresses less efficiently than modern codecs, and Apple devices do not play OGV natively.
Why convert video to OGV? For websites that standardise on open formats: Firefox and Chrome play it without patented codecs.
