Disable gif animation programmatically - image

Hi i have a gif whose animation i want to disable programmatically in a web page .I do not want to replace the gif with equivalent image.The gif must be same when "saved as" .And i want to be able to do that for selected gifs only not all gifs

You could create a thumbnail that is just the first frame (non-animated), then put a download link next to it to download the animated version. Any solution is going to be a workaround though; you can't tell the web browser to not animate animated GIFs.

Is there a way to pause or control an animated gif in my browser?

I'm in Firefox and I'm looking at a page which has several how-to sections. Each of these has an animated git showing a user following the instructions.
The animation goes by too fast for me to be useful. I just want a way to pause the animation so that I can zoom in and see the details better. Then resume the animation.
I tried clicking on the GIF, and I get just the GIF, but it still is animated and I can't control it.
What I'd like is some way to have FF open the image so that I can pause and resume the image. Some reliable FF extension or plug-inAn would be best. An item in the context menu would be nice (using about:config). Or an item in the Settings/Applications list for images in general, or .gif files in particular (also using about:config). Or some application where I can open the app and drag the image from FF into the open app's window.
What I've tried is:
Changing how FF processes the click on the image. Its Settings does not show anything related to images in the Applications section. I can't find a way to configure FF to add more file types to this section. Anybody know how to do this?
I can view the image in WMP (Windows Media Player), but this is a clumsy process. First, I have to save the image somewhere, then I have to open the folder where I saved it, then do an Open With.... Then since WMP isn't on the list of apps, I have to do Select Another App, and scroll down to WMP and select that. I don't want to make this the default for all GIF files, so I have to do this for each animated GIF.
Once I've done this, WMP comes up and I can do what I want.
I tried a drag and drop from my image in FF to an open WMP window, but there's no response there.
I tried RealPlayer. I can do an Open With and RealPlayer is on the list of apps. But RealPlayer shows the image without animating it. RealPlayer also has an Open command and I paste in the URL of the image, but it's the same result.
I loaded the Toggle Animated Gif extension for FF. This is not satisfactory because I can either run the animation or show the GIF without any animation. I want to be able to freeze the animation in the middle of it.
Same difficulty here. Unfortunately, there's no such Firefox extension for now. The closest one is https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/gifpuase. It allows to pause a GIT, but not to resume - so not enough for you.
While I also prefer Firefox, but for this I suggest Chrome and Gif Scrubber: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/gif-scrubber/gbdacbnhlfdlllckelpdkgeklfjfgcmp. Not immediate, but powerful.

How to set gif image as a launch image in xamarin forms

I want to show multiple images one after another in splash screen, So I decided to set multiple images are converted in to gif image and add this gif image as a launch image. Can we set gif as launch image. Please suggest any idea to beat this requirement. Thanks in advance.
According to Apple's guidelines it's not possible to use a GIF as/in a splash screen. Like I said in your other question, you can fake an animation by making your first view controller animated and setting it as the splash screen.
The UIImageView control in iOS has the ability to play a sequence of images one by one.

Unable to bring transparent background in image using adobe photoshop cs5,

I am creating .gif progress bar using Adobe Photoshop CS5. My client asked to keep progress bar like below.
I tried in Adobe and got below .gif image. But problem is I am unable to bring transparent background. I reduced opacity % in Photoshop it displaying correctly in Photoshop.
But when I saved as .gif then image background loss is transparent and I getting image like below.
I tried lot but unable to meet my client expectation.
Did you use the option "Save for web & devices"? If so, you should be presented with alot of options (amongst those, transparency).
tutorial: http://www.webdesign.org/photoshop/photoshop-basics/transparent-gifs-in-photoshop.8923.html
Use Save for web option
Alt+Shift+Ctrl+S
and select GIF, then enable transparency checkbox.
If the above method doesnt work, use this website

Why doesn't my image color match background color in FireFox?

I think I could be doing something wrong in photoshop. I'm trying to create a banner for my website.
I created a new image in photoshop, then filled the background with a color I picked #E06205
I then saved the image as a jpeg.
On my webpage, I created a div and gave it a background color
background-color:#E05206;
When I open the page in Safari and Chrome it's beautiful. Matches perfectly.
However, when I open the page in FireFox, the colors don't match. I can't figure out why that is.
By the way, this is definitely a problem with the image I created. When I compare the same image side by side, Firefox gives me the 'wrong' color
Your issue is in the color profile you are using for the image. Make sure when you save the image you use Save for Web & Devices…
To read more if you want you could travel to this website:

You should save your images with "Save for Web & Devices" option of "File" menu in Photoshop. You can get many options and image types in this option as per your requirement.
