The request

“My client wants the opening slide to be an animated GIF but the following slides to be JPGs. The theme keeps converting the GIF to a still frame.”
Typical request
Paraphrased from merchant tickets in this category

A theme that flattened animation.

02

The approach

We made the slideshow handle animated GIFs without flattening them, so the first slide animates while the other slides remain stills, and confirmed it stayed lightweight.

03

What we shipped

  • Animated GIF supported in the slideshow
  • Still images unaffected
  • Load time checked
