Question

I have a problem with webkit browsers – they do not display previews of generated animations on Preloaders.net. I heard about canvas library, searched through the web, but did not quite understand if I can simply convert animated GIF to canvas, so that it’s displayed properly. Does anyone know how I can get the downloaded animated GIF image and make canvas display it with no parameters lost (animation speed, transparency etc)?

Thanks in advance

I don’t think there is a simple way to do this.
you need to get every image of your GIF and then paint it to a canvas.
I recommend those 2 links
