Animated Image

<wa-animated-image> Since 2.0 Stable

A component for displaying animated GIFs and WEBPs that play and pause on interaction. 

<wa-animated-image
  src="https://shoelace.style/assets/images/walk.gif"
  alt="Animation of untied shoes walking on pavement"
></wa-animated-image>

This component uses <canvas> to draw freeze frames, so images are subject to cross-origin restrictions.

Examples

WEBP Images

Both GIF and WEBP images are supported.

<wa-animated-image
  src="https://shoelace.style/assets/images/tie.webp"
  alt="Animation of a shoe being tied"
></wa-animated-image>

Setting a Width and Height

To set a custom size, apply a width and/or height to the host element.

<wa-animated-image
  src="https://shoelace.style/assets/images/walk.gif"
  alt="Animation of untied shoes walking on pavement"
  style="width: 150px; height: 200px;"
>
</wa-animated-image>

  alt="Animation of untied shoes walking on pavement"
  class="animated-image-custom-control-box"
