Add support for GIF

[vict0rsch]

Hey,

thanks for the great work.

can we embed gif images using moul?

Thanks!

👋 @vict0rsch currently only jpg and png are supported.

May I know what is your intended use for it?

I think for the most case gif will be better off as video instead. Unless you only need like 2 frames loop.

Cheers!

I like (and need for my usage) the infinite loops ; if that can be reproduced with video players then why not.

In the mean time I had to write a python script to post-process the export and include the gifs I want, you can see section 5 here:

Ahhh, I can see you point now! for that, it would be nice to have gif support.

I never tried with gif encode/decoder, but to have it support isn't a big changes I guess.

• Add gif extension in here https://github.com/moulco/moul/blob/master/internal/resize.go#L104
• Then https://github.com/moulco/moul/blob/master/internal/resize.go#L161-L171 need to change how to resize gif (most likely need to do it for each frame)

I'll add this to the list.

Cool 😎

I expect gif resizing might entail heavy processing (and dev!) times, maybe a v0 could simply handle their native size? Just a suggestion
