I'm trying to create a email mosaico template with image .gif but jquery resize my image and send gif broken. Is there any option to send a .gif correctly?
Thank you.

1I've reproduced this - create a new email using versafix-1 template. Select the 258x150 image block. Upload a gif. Preview - it's not working! :(– Luke StewartCommented Jan 23, 2020 at 18:21

1I was also able to replicate this using the mosaico.io template builder mosaico.io - this suggests this is a mosaico issue not a civicrm issue per say– Luke StewartCommented Jan 23, 2020 at 18:26

1As a temporary workaround try manually uploading the gif then link to it using an <img> tag.– Luke StewartCommented Jan 23, 2020 at 18:28

Did you find an answer to your question? It seems that the platform does not accept the .gif format.
Admin support and I figured it out... kinda:
- It works if you use the "traditional" email. The Mosaico version seems to strip the gifs away.
- If I view the resulting email through our standard email reader, it moves. If I view it through outlook, it does not.
Conclusion - Even if you get the gif to upload and go out properly, it doesn't work on all email readers and therefore is not a good solution for your email.
The issue is with the intervention library used, which doesn't support animated GIFs. The intervention bug is 5+ years old.
While intervention is open source, the maintainer is mostly inactive, and hasn't released the source code of his new version, which he's been working on for years. I think it might be time to remove intervention from Mosaico.
Note also that there's an open Mosaico issue for this topic.

I tried to do this - 2.8 v of Mosaico extension and Deprecate iMagick PHP extension - didn't work. In the end I made the animated GIF from a movie I put into Keynote (Mac) and then exported as an animated gif. I then resized it on ezgif.com to size 534px wide, which is a preset size for Mosaico images. I then uploaded the image to a server and hard-coded the image URL into a Mosaico text field. All worked fine.
