Ani-Mate Gutenberg Animation Extension vs Auto AnimateImage

After years of doing the manual work, I’ve come up with a plugin that I have been re-using in my own web projects for some time now. This plugin takes great work by @michalsnik with his Animate on Scroll Library (AOS) and adds it to the most common Gutenberg blocks. This is a open library with simple fields so that you can adjust the animations to every possible option. Animation controls are added to: group columns cover image media-text gallery embed paragraph heading Don’t see the block you need or programmed a custom block? Just put it inside a group to give you full animation control.

Auto AnimateImage is WordPress plugin that applies AnimateImage script to your site automatically. AnimateImage displays multiple images continuously like animated GIF. All you have to do is write img element like below, and the image will be animated automatically. As you know, animated GIF is the most common animation format, but it supports up to only 256 colors. There are some alternative animation formats such as APNG, MNG, JNG, Motion JPEG and SVG Animation. However they are currently not widely supported by Web browsers. That is why AnimateImage is the most appropriate method for animated images.
