Animated GIF become JPEG

Hi,

When I want to use an animated GIF with the picker, the image I receive is a JPEG. Do you know how to tell the picker this image is a GIF and aplly to it a GIF data64?

I’m on Android, my piece of code:

selectPhotoTapped() {
        const options = {
            quality: 1.0,
            maxWidth: 800,
            maxHeight: 800,
            title: 'Select a picture',
            cancelButtonTitle: 'Cancel',
            title: 'Select a picture',
            cancelButtonTitle: 'Cancel',
            takePhotoButtonTitle: 'Take picture',
            chooseFromLibraryButtonTitle: 'Phone'
            //noData: false, // we use response.data to display gif
            //allowsEditing: false // make sure we don't edit the gif
        };
        ImagePicker.showImagePicker(options, (response) => {
            if (response.didCancel) { }
            else if (response.error) { alert('ImagePicker Error: ', response.error); }
            else if (response.customButton) { alert('User tapped custom button: ', response.customButton); }
            else {
                var source;
                source = {uri: 'data:image/jpeg;base64,' + response.data, isStatic: true};
                //Or:
                //if (Platform.OS === 'android') { source = {uri: response.uri, isStatic: true}; }
                //else { source = {uri: response.uri.replace('file://', ''), isStatic: true}; }
                //this.setState({ avatarSource: source });
                this.setState({ photo: source });
                this.setState({ photoUpload: source.uri });
            }
        });
}

Thank you for your help!

@yfuks in my case I am resizing the image deliberately, I just want a way that when the gallery of my photo opens, we filter out gif … so my gallery would only show image/jpeg or image/png ONLY. so that the user does not get a chance to select gif

My bad, I sent full header to Imagick, not just the data64. Thanks for your time!
