GIF images consists of many frames, so size of GIF image is more as compared to normal image. Its not recommended to load GIF images first and its better to maintain one normal preview image for every GIF image. You can use first frame of GIF image as preview image.

  1. It is a known fact that we all spend time on our favorite social media platform, Facebook. For some of us, it's our only true source of information while others get their daily news from there. The truth is that no matter how much you really love Facebook and all that it has to offer – using the https://uk.eliteassignmenthelp.com/cheap-assignments site's features can be tiring after a while. That's where Facebook Like GIF Preview comes in.
