I have animated images in a .gif file. I want to upload those files in my overleaf document. I am facing problem to upload .gif file, I have also searched possible solution in a google, however I couldn't solve it with available techniques. I would be really happy to get a genuine solution. Thanks :)
Overleaf itself has no issue in accepting animated GIFs—the preview even shows the animation correctly.
Nevertheless, to create a compiled PDF document that will run the animation, you need to convert the individual frames into separate PNG files. With ImageMagick, the command would be
convert -coalesce anim.gif anim_%d.png
After uploading the stack of resulting PNG files, I suggest using the "animate" package (see http://ctan.math.utah.edu/ctan/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/animate/animate.pdf), which allows you to embed an animation with
\animategraphics[controls,loop,autoplay,scale=1]{framerate}{basename}{start}{end}
Using the above example, basename would be "anim_", and start and end the frame boundaries of the animation (part). Keep in mind that not all PDF viewers are capable of rendering the animation—Adobe Reader is one of those that works.
