About the formats
.gif
GIF is an old image format limited to 256 colours per frame. It survives because it plays short animations everywhere, from chat apps to email, without needing a video player.
.mkv
MKV (Matroska) is a flexible video container that can hold many audio and subtitle tracks. It's popular for films and recordings, but phones, browsers and editing apps often won't play it.
