Animated GIF images - resolution requirements

Documentation
1

Hi,

the release notes wiki pages typically contain animated GIF images. I’ve noticed that some of them have to be clicked to start the animation. They have the following description: Note: Due to technical limitations, thumbnails of high resolution GIF images such as this one will not be animated. But what exactly is meant by high resolution here ? I use ScreenToGif software to capture GIF images and I can set the resolution but I don’t know what the maximum value for automatic animation is. Any hints ?

Animated GIFs where (width × height × number of frames) exceeds this limit will be thumbnailed to a single, static frame, instead of getting an animated thumbnail.
