Hi there guys, I just wondered why GIFs are so small when you upload them - even if you choose 100% as the size E.g [2020-04-07 10.18.45]

What is the size of the GIF you are uploading? The one below is 245x250 and uploads fine. [babies12]

This looks like an error in speficically what you are choosing to upload? Can you describe it exactly, step by step, with examples?

Here is a gif that triggers the issue. When I look at its properties on my computer, its type is set to ‘image/gif’. Its size is 10.4MB. It seems that Discourse is resizing its images. I am able to upload smaller gifs that I created in the same way without any display issues. [featured_topic]

So this is about GIFs that are normally too large to fit the upload limit, they are being auto-resized somehow? That resulting image is tiny: 50 x 29, 32kb Perhaps this is a regression @sam ? :thinking:

Possibly a regression, does this happen with non animated gifs as well?

Thanks guys - I’m using http://giffox.com/ to make gifs. Sometimes it works and sometimes not… I think you might be right about the size. Was just doing some tests Can make it work if it’s very short.

Here is a 2.06 mb GIF [giphy] Here is a 3.47 mb GIF [89952-master-strokes-beard-gif-Kill-bdei] Here is a 9.06 mb GIF [Ton-Sur-Ton-directed-by-REGAN-CAMERON-1080p] Yeah looks like something very bad is happening at the 4mb limit to these @sam @eviltrout . I edited the title to reflect the issu…

Just wanted to confirm this is isolated to animated gifs. I think we use Gifsicle: Command-Line Animated GIFs for resizing do my guess is that params changed @vinothkannans can you have a quick look today

https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/b57d4586d713102ce939fd8d17f2ce200f290171 It’s happening since we changed the way of image downsizing . The above commit will fix this issue and the larger gifs will scale down properly. [five]

Is this the correct fix? I don’t think we should be “downsizing” what are effectively videos? That feels like a rather extreme (and possibly very server CPU intensive) manipulation, that could ruin video (gif) quality. I’m not sure about this. I think we should outright reject animated GIFs which a…

Questo problema si verifica da quando abbiamo modificato il modo in cui ridimensioniamo le immagini. Il commit sopra menzionato risolverà il problema e i GIF di grandi dimensioni verranno ridimensionati correttamente.
