Default GIF/WebP/AVIF Support

By default, if you ask to resize a GIF image, we take only the first frame and then apply any filter or operation you want.

Example

https://img.imageboss.me /mywebsite-images /width /300 /examples/08.gif




Animated Images

This preserves the animation of your image and applies the operation you ask for to all frames. You can combine it with any operation available.
animation accepts 1 or true.

Example

https://img.imageboss.me /mywebsite-images /width /300 /animation:true /examples/08.gif




Animated GIFs With Exact Output Size

Currently, we reduce your GIF to fit inside the dimensions you asked for, then crop it.

Example

https://img.imageboss.me /mywebsite-images /cover /300x300 /animation:true /examples/08.gif




Converting Animated GIFs to MP4

When required, ImageBoss can also convert your GIF into MP4.

Example

https://img.imageboss.me /mywebsite-images /cover /300x300 /animation:true,format:mp4 /examples/08.gif
