# discourse-animated-avatars

Adds the ability for users to upload gif avatars which will animate on hover or selection in posts, user cards, and profile pages

## Enable gif resizing

Optionally, your `app.yml` may be configured to install gifsicle in addition to the plugin.

This allows gif uploads to be cropped and resized to fit a square avatar. If the dependency is not included,

gif uploads will keep the original aspect ratio.
