anyone knows if it's possible to convert gif to svg or mp4? for instance, I'd like to share a screen recording in svg. It might sound like a dumb idea, maybe it is

just record as mp4 in the first place, gif has limited colour palette, low frame rate and poor compression

it does, however I use it to send short demos when needed. GIF is perfect, small size, resolution isn't critical, it's a perfect choice for me. I don't like sending 300Mb of video every time I have a small thing to demonstrate, GIFs on the other hand work like a charm. Which is why I am shopping for alternatives
