How to place GIFs in Muse?

[annebaars]

Hi hi,

I'm currently working on my portfolio website using Muse and I'm trying to place a gif I made using Photoshop but when I preview it the gif doesn't work.

Is there any way to fix it? I'd love to use the gif on my website but I have no idea how..

It doesn't work tells us nothing.  Is this an animated GIF?  Are you saying it does not animate when previewed in a browser?    If yes, there could be a problem with your source file.   Can you upload the GIF to your server and post the URL?

[annebaars]

Yes it's an animated gif with two frames which won't animate when previewed in a browser.

I'm currently trying to upload it to my server but it gives off an error, I'll post the URL as soon as it works!

Can you post the GIF in a web forum reply as I have below?   NOTE: Don't use email, it won't come through.

If I place it in here it doesn't work either 😕

Then this is not a Muse question.  More like a Photoshop animation question.  See link below.

set the number of times to forever for web gifs

Muse = an animated gif is an image and placed in a frame like any other... don't use a gif as fill

untick convert to jpeg in the options for that site

on a fluid breakpoint select the gif and set its resize to "none"
