   Update to Animated GIF Support in Cards As part of ongoing infrastructure cost management, we are discontinuing support for animated GIFs in the free Cards product. Animated GIFs will now display as static images (first frame). This change does not affect paid plans. Please contact customer support ([email protected]) or visit support.embed.ly if you would like to support these image types moving forward, we can get you set up with a paid subscription plan. We apologize for any inconvenience.
