Convert GIF to Base64
Encode the original GIF directly so animated frames and timing remain in the file.
Encode GIF without flattening frames
The preset keeps metadata removal, resizing, and conversion disabled and reads the original GIF bytes directly.
Animation, loop data, and timing remain part of the encoded file, although Base64 makes the text payload larger.
