How to: automate WordPress tasks
Have you ever uploaded GIF files to your WordPress site only to have it lose its animation when scaled? Maybe you have a theme that simply messes with GIFs? There are always functions you can write to leave GIF uploads alone. Plugins such as WP GIF Uploader can also help. It lets you upload files without worrying about losing animation.
The pro version of this plugin lets you do even more. You can add watermarks to your gifs, create gifs from images and control the play action. You can perform basic edits. For example, you can crop, flip, rotate, and scale your GIFs. This plugin can load the first frame image first then loads the animated part after the page is finished loading.
