18 sites Security covered Drupal 10–11
View on drupal.org

This module provides a file field type specifically for uploading GIFs and allows you to configure how they are displayed using field formatters. It leverages a jQuery library to render GIFs based on your settings, offering options for what elements to show in the widget and for display. This provides a more configurable and modern approach to displaying animated GIFs on your site compared to a basic file upload.

Gif Player Field creates a simple file field types that allows you to upload the GIF files and configure the output for this using the Field Formatters. The module uses GifPlayer jQuery library to render the GIF according to configured setups for the Field Formatter.

The field configuration lets you determine which elements of an GIF should be present in the field widget form and which ones should be rendered for display.

By default the GifPlayer library is attached only to the field, but this can be configured to be used globally on the module configuration page.
The library usage is simple $('.gifplayer').gifplayer(); or visit the Library page for more configuration.

Gif Player Field is a better version of similar Animated GIF, that uses the latest D8 conding standards and has an intuitive configurable interface for GIF field type, this being rendered according to the configuration but not as simple uploaded file.

Compatibility notes
Gif Player Field should work on any fieldable entity type.
