the ability to convert Gif to Webp animated?

[EnderPicture]

Hi,

I see that it is possible for Sharp to convert Gif to animated Webp files in their doc. Is it possible in image tools? currently, the conversion works but only to a static image.

Thanks!

Your link seems to just go to their homepage and I couldn't find the specific option you mentioned.

Maybe you can provide a quick reproduction with a gif that would be converted into an animated webp normally but doesn't get converted when using imagetools so I can can check it out!

I think he's referring to options.pages.

number of pages to extract for multi-page input (GIF, WebP, AVIF, TIFF, PDF), use -1 for all pages.

Sorry for the delay, I was referring to this section

// Convert an animated GIF to an animated WebP
await sharp('in.gif', { animated: true }).toFile('out.webp');

From the constructor page of Sharp website, there are 2 references to animated file in the options

• options.pages number number of pages to extract for multi-page input (GIF, WebP, AVIF, TIFF, PDF), use -1 for all pages. (optional, default 1)
• options.animated boolean Set to true to read all frames/pages of an animated image (equivalent of setting pages to -1). (optional, default false)

Would be great to have an option for webp animated or not in imagetools.

Any plans to implements this?

I guess line 6 in util.ts has to be extended to receive the option to enable animations:

return sharp(path, { animated: true })
