Animated GIFs are large. The GIFV format introduced by Imgur
solves this problem by converting animated GIFs to MP4 and embedding them in an HTML page. This plugin
leverages the Imgur API to convert animated GIFs hosted on your WordPress site
into locally hosted GIFV URLs.

  • Adds “Convert to GIFV” to the Media Library
  • Creates URLs for converted GIFV files (ex: mysite.com/animated.gifv)
  • Twitter card and Facebook opengraph support for sharing
  • WP-CLI support via “gifv”

Plugin name inspired by Son of Clippy
