Replay is awesome except that it doesn't play looping GIFs properly.

Our company is searching for a platform we can use to present work to clients. Our work primarily consist of looping GIFs. We are having a hard time finding a platform that plays looping gifs correctly and provides tools to track feedback.

Would love this feature added.

  • Thanks for raising this! Just to clarify, is the ask mainly about being able to play animated GIFs in the previewer (instead of showing just a still frame), or are you hoping for something more advanced on top of that?

    Yes, to start, we would love to be able to playback  animated GIFs , but the same features that are available for collaboration on vidoe projects would be amazing to have on animated stills/GIFs

      Great to hear your thoughts on this 🙌! We’ll keep the idea of GIF playback in mind as a potential improvement - you can always check our release notes to see if it gets added down the road ✅.

      As for bringing full video-like collaboration features to GIFs, that’s trickier - GIFs don’t behave like standard video files in browsers, so supporting them in the same way would take quite a bit of extra work. Still, it’s a really thoughtful suggestion and we appreciate you sharing it 💙.
