1.8K JavaScript library that prevents the autoplaying of the animated Gifs.
Include gifffer.min.js in your page.
<script type="text/javascript" src="gifffer.min.js"></script>Instead of setting src attribute on your image use data-gifffer.
<img data-gifffer="image.gif" />At the end, call Gifffer(); whenever you want. For example:
window.onload = function() {
Gifffer();
}Gifffer will show the controls immediately if you set data-gifffer-width and data-gifffer-height even if the image is not fully loaded.
<img data-gifffer="image.gif" data-gifffer-width="250" data-gifffer-height="237" />
Have in mind that the library keeps the value of the class and id attributes. They are applied to the newly created element.
If you want to stop the Gif and reset it to its original position use data-gifffer-duration (in milliseconds).
<img data-gifffer="image.gif" data-gifffer-duration="4000" data-gifffer-width="250" data-gifffer-height="237" />

It replaces your <img> tag with newly generated <div> that contains only the first frame (roughly) of your animated Gif. It creates a play button on top of it and when the element is clicked it returns the original image.
Chrome, FF, Safari, Opera, IE9+
Your <img> tag is replaced by a <div>. Consider the fact that it is a block element.
