The video is 2 sec long but has to loop.

So I've made a GIF export. It worked well... until the upload on Facebook (or Giphy) : my work become blurry and unreadable.

Properties of my export : 25 fps, 23 mo

Could someone let me know the good process to display a very short and looped video on social network ?
