What are you guys talking about? You just put the url of the GIF.

i typically paste the url of the gif from tenor.com or something some clients, like damus and yakihonne, will let you upload a gif from your device. :3

In amethyst, add it as an image from your gallery after you download it from somewhere. The icon on the left here...

I actually don't know. Its not on my wish list but many people ask so it's kinda a running joke at this point.

it can depend on the software. matrix doesn't let you paste animating gifs. it just snaps the first frame and then converts it to jpg. even in the web app. most nostr web apps don't tinker with the files though. i used this, there is a canvas api in the web browser runtime that can take an image, decode it, then using the canvas api, it can scale it, warp it, and then encode it to jpg, gif, webp, or whatever.
