About GIF to MP4
Animated GIFs are big and many social networks and messaging apps convert them anyway. An MP4 of the same animation is often ten times smaller and looks better, because video compression is far more efficient.
Every frame keeps its own timing. MP4 video has no transparency, so see-through areas become white. The conversion happens in your browser.
The MP4 uses H.264, which plays on every phone, computer and social network, and keeps the GIF's size in pixels. GIFs with odd widths or heights get one pixel added, because H.264 needs even numbers. The animation plays once in most video players, but most chat apps and sites loop short clips automatically.
Converting can make your GIF much easier to share: many messaging apps limit file sizes, and a long GIF that is too big to send often fits easily as an MP4. If your browser can't encode video, the page tells you before you start.
Questions and answers

They become white, because MP4 video can't be see-through.
