Disable Animated Subsizes
v1.0.1 · by Adam Silverstein
Generates static first-frame sub-sizes for animated image uploads.
About this plugin
Prefer static thumbnails and other sub-sizes for animated images? Activate this plugin to opt out of animated sub-size generation. New sub-sizes use the first frame while the original image keeps its animation.
There are no settings. Deactivate the plugin to restore the default behavior. Existing media files are not modified.
This plugin uses the wp_generate_animated_image_subsizes filter introduced in WordPress core PR #12572 and Gutenberg PR #80385. It takes effect only in versions that include support for this filter and animated sub-size processing. On older versions it has no effect.
