Are animated webp images supported by Netlify?
I have a Nextjs website with animated webp images, they work locally and with Vercel, but on Netlify they are displayed as still images. I haven’t changed any build settings and I am not using asset optimization.
can you share your site name or link to your site?
I have an animated image on post 1 preview when hovering.
working: https://j-m.vercel.app
Serving animated WebP should not be an issue, but I believe next/image component might not be supporting animated WebP on Netlify.
We use ipx as a dependency and looks like they support WebP animations with a modifier: support animated gif/webp · Issue #35 · unjs/ipx (github.com). I’ll let the devs know to add support for this on Netlify.
For now, if you directly use <img> tag instead os using next/image, it should work.
has support been implemented? is there any documentation to make this work? i’m facing the same issues related to ipx after pushing to netlify and I’m not sure if I need to upgrade to a specific version or toggle a flag.
This was the issue: Automatic support for animated webp · Issue #787 · opennextjs/opennextjs-netlify. I don’t think it’s currently related given the age.
thanks for the reference! i was able to update to nextjs 15 and it’s working for me now
