By default browser always plays animated gifs  and you can t change that behaviour  If gif image does not animate there can be 2 ways to look  something wrong with the browser  something wrong with the image  Then to exclude the first variant just check trusted image in your browser  run snippet below  this gif definitely animated and works in all browsers    Your code looks OK  Can you check if this snippet is animated for you  If YES  then something is bad with your gif  if NO something is wrong with your browser    x000D   x000D   lt img src  http   i stack imgur com SBv4T gif  alt  this slowpoke moves   width 250  gt  x000D   x000D   x000D

Agreed with Yuri Tkachenko s answer  I wanna point this out  It s a pretty specific scenario  BUT it happens  When you copy a gif before its loaded fully in some site like google images  it just gives the preview image address of that gif  Which is clearly not a gif  So  make sure it ends with  gif extension
