Sample GIF images for testing, free and CC0

GIF is the oldest image format still in everyday use, mostly for animation. Two files cover the cases that matter.

gif/1x1.gif is a single-pixel GIF, the smallest useful image of the format. It is the classic shape of tracking pixels and spacer images, and a good edge case for thumbnailers and image validators that assume a minimum size.

gif/animated-10frames-256x256.gif is a 256x256 animation of ten frames at 100 milliseconds each, looping continuously. Use it to check that an upload pipeline keeps every frame instead of flattening the image to its first one, that a resize step preserves the animation, and that a preview shows motion. GIF images use a palette of at most 256 colours, so the file also reveals colour quantisation problems in converters.

For an animated image in a newer format, see the animated PNG on the PNG page; for compact still images, see WebP.
