How can I set an animated gif as user picture in OS X? Is it possible?
Best Answer
It isn't possible. When you specify an account picture, macOS will automatically convert the image file to
.tiff
file format and save it in the cache. Unlike.gif
,.tiff
is a single-image file format, so once your.gif
file is converted, the animation will be lost.
