Thank you so much for this! Convert my banner to .apng works perfectly, finally be able to see my animated banner again after like what, 3 months!
Use this site to make conversion easy!

Tip: If for any reason your GIF gets corrupted or loses color during conversion to Apng, I recommend converting it to WebP first. So, converting from Gif to WebP, and then from WebP to gif again and then converting to apng file. I know it’s kinda confusing but that worked to me bc my gif. to apng looked weird and i solution it in that way.

I tried it, but it only works for banners, right? It’s not a solution for the GIFs you place in your product gallery (usually shown on the side). I just want to make sure the solution doesn’t apply to my case yet, and that I’m not missing something (my banner isn’t animated).
They work in the gallery (the screenshots part, right?) but only when u select them in big, not in the little preview, idk if that was possible in the past, but at least for me, it works so fine!
Yeah, side screenshots don't animate automatically anymore, unfortunately. You have to click on them. But this works for description, banner and background.
Until to this day the problem is still existing, uploading gif images into the description does not work.
But there is a workaround and you could ask the ChatGPT to help you with GitHub Repository Link method on how to use it if you a newbie into this kind of stuff.
Copy and paste the image address link from your GitHub into itch.io description SOLVED! so far this is the only temporary solution that works best.
This is the example of the result, copy and paste into your description like this will appeared.
Please don't declare the bug solved when it isn't. This is just a workaround. There's still no official solution to this problem, and no official word on why it's happening.
The current workarounds are:
* Use an external host (like Github)
* Convert the gif to apng
Unfortunately GitHub links work only for the description section. APNGs work on banners and background images too. The community hasn't found a solution for screenshots previews yet, as far as I know. We are making progress, though! :)
No one needs to ask ChatGPT anything. That workaround has been mentioned multiple times on this page.
That’s a good motivation and likely helpful.
It’s just… ChatGPT is stealing from these threads. People here shoukd read what’s here, not go to a chatbot.
For the areas of the site that allow markdown, animated gifs can ve hotlinked from anywhere that allows hotlinking with the following syntax.
But put in the full web address.
Nothing yet. I've also tried to direct message Leaf on Twitter and not heard anything back. Support hasn't responded in this thread, and I don't think it's been acknowledged anywhere else. Still unclear why this is happening or if it's intentional.
