*Animated GIFs
Animated GIF transformations do not have a guaranteed size limit.
Although the Image Service supports transformations up to 4000×4000 pixels for static images, animated GIFs may fail to transform even within these dimensions. This depends on file-specific characteristics such as frame count, duration, and file size.
Because these factors vary per file, successful GIF transformations cannot be predicted or guaranteed and are handled on a best-effort basis.
