Brings GIFs back to the Tumblr dashboard instead of WEBPs

Download

Install Compare

GifsOnTumblr is a Chrome extension designed to bring back authentic animated GIFs on your Tumblr dashboard by preventing Tumblr's automatic conversion to WebP format. This helps maintain the original glitch art quality and makes saving GIFs easier. While Tumblr converts GIFs to WebPs, this extension tweaks the dashboard to serve the original GIFs instead, enhancing your browsing experience.

Please note that pages with many GIFs might load slower due to the nature of GIFs, and your browser might download both GIF and WebP formats. Visit the GitHub repository for more details and updates.
