# Overwrite animated status
<a name="overwrite-animated-status"></a>

This solution assumes that GIF files with multiple pages should be animated. If you’d like to indicate that a GIF should not be animated, or that another file type should be animated, include the animated property in the edits property in the image request.
+  **animated (optional, boolean)** - Overwrites the initial animated status of the image. If the value is `true` , the solution will attempt to process the image as animated. For example:

  ```
  const imageRequest = JSON.stringify({
      bucket: "<myImageBucket>",
      key: "<myImage.webp>",
      edits: {
          animated: true
      }
  })
  ```

  If it is `false`, the solution will process the image as a still image. For example:

  ```
  const imageRequest = JSON.stringify({
      bucket: "<myImageBucket>",
      key: "<myImage.gif>",
      edits: {
          animated: false
      }
  })
  ```

**Note**  
If an image does not have multiple pages, it will always be processed as still, regardless of the **edits.animated** property. The following filters are not supported for images that are animated: **rotate**, **smartCrop**, **roundCrop**, and **contentModeration**.
