+**Performer images must be static, animated images are not allowed at this time.**

+
+Animated GIFs or WEBPs are not allowed as performer images at this time. These animated images are likely a niche preference and these files often take up a lot of space. For these reasons and for the sake of consistency on StashDB, we ask that you hold off on adding them for now.
+
+There is a strong desire to add some form of [performer image categorization](https://github.com/stashapp/stash-box/issues/237){:target="_blank"} to Stash-Box in the future. The ability to properly flag and filter animated images would likely allow us to remove this restriction, but unfortunately we cannot say how long it will take to add this feature to StashDB.

+**Official static scene covers are preferred whenever possible, otherwise closest static equivalent is fine.**
+
+---
+
+Studios will occasionally use animated GIFs or WEBPs as an official scene cover or thumbnail. For example, BangBros does this with scenes like [this one (NSFW)](https://bangbros.com/video3412677/big-ass-quake){:target="_blank"}. If the studio hosts a static scene cover as an alternative somewhere, then this should be used instead. Otherwise, use your best judgment to find the closest static equivalent to the official animated cover. This could be a different thumbnail, a preview image, a gallery image, a custom screenshot, or a conversion of the animated file. Please remember to note in your edit comment where you've found this alternative cover.
