Hey! So I have a lot of video content that I could turn into GIF’s for email. The issue is that my video files are super large so my GIF has to be like .2 seconds to be an “okay” size for email. Does anyone have any tips on how to make video files smaller?
I typically use EZ Gif for when I create gifs.
Thank you!

Thanks for sharing your question with the Community! Happy to help!
You’re completely right, a GIF has to be less than 5 MB in size in order to be inserted into an email. There are workaround to making your file smaller such as:
-Optimizing GIFs
-Compressing GIFs
However, if you do not want to compress your GIF, you can also host your GIF elsewhere, in which case you can use a text box and insert the URL of the hosted GIF in the source code. Additionally, I’d recommend checking out these similar Community threads to gain more insight!
