Feature request details

Adding returnBlobOnly boolean parameter on saveGif function.

This feature will give ability to render a gif and keep the blob in memory, instead of downloading it directly in the browser.

.

Example use cases:

• Save the blob to the database/storage
• Split the render and download process so that the user can download the rendered gif at a later time via a different interaction
• Display the blob in an image tag (instead of canvas, which can't be saved to desktop with right click)
