Why is it that I can post the attached mp4 but not the source as a gif?

To make the mp4 I encoded the gif in handbrake, which actually made increased the file size but reduced the dimensions.

Source gif:  728*408, 785.5 KiB
Encoded mp4: 640*360, 836.7 KiB

    EDIT: For real though, you can always just hotlink embed the source like this (provided the source site allows hotlinking):

    Example: ![](http://my.image.url/image.gif)

    This specific image: ![](https://www.maxim.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/ibjtdug-imgur.gif)

    If you’re looking for somewhere to upload files with clear limits which are explained, I suggest catbox.moe
