Animated gifs get resized but not animated
The truth is usually more complicated than the headline

I get it, it is frustrating when a perfect loop loses its motion. One thing that sometimes helps is uploading via the mobile app instead of desktop - the upload path handles the compression differently and I have seen several users report the animation survives. It is not guaranteed, but worth a try. On the bright side, once the GIF lands correctly, the resizing seems to respect the dimensions and the quality is actually fine. Let us see if the next update fixes this. In the meantime, I keep a folder of resized versions so nothing breaks when I share. And hey, at least now you can make your GIF smaller than your desktop background! Just saying.
