Turn a still, mascot, logo or a plain prompt into a looping animated GIF with GPT Image 2.6 on varg (output_format gif): the sprite-sheet pixel budget with a measured table of frame sizes that fit 2, 4, 6, 9, 12 and 16 frames, the approve-a-still-first workflow, loop-lock prompt wording, frame_duration_ms, transparent backgrounds, the failure modes (text in frames, fast motion, boiling backgrounds) and post-processing to animated WebP and MP4 with scripts/gif2web.sh. Use when someone asks for…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Looping GIFs with GPT Image 2.6 GPT Image 2.6 returns a real animated GIF when you set `output_format: "gif"`. It draws all frames as one sprite sheet, then cuts the sheet into frames ([@op7418](https://x.com/op7418/status/2118184315507118272) on ChatGPT; the API errors below show the same sheet). That one fact explains most of what follows: the frames share one image's pixel budget, and one image's price. Model guide and prices: [gpt-image-2-6](../gpt-image-2-6/).

How to install
mdr add varghq/skills/gpt-image-gif@sha256:f9a961f590223053The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
