I having trouble inserting a gif file into my overleaf latex document. Here is the code I used:

 \documentclass[conference,10pt]{IEEEtran}
 \usepackage{graphicx}
 \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
 \usepackage{epstopdf}  
 \usepackage{psfrag}    
 \usepackage{subfigure} 
 \usepackage{url}       
 \usepackage{stfloats}  
 \usepackage{amsmath}    
 \interdisplaylinepenalty=2500                    
 \usepackage{balance}

\DeclareGraphicsRule{.gif}{png}{.png}{%
      \noexpand\epstopdfcall{convert #1 \noexpand\OutputFile}%
 }
 \AppendGraphicsExtensions{.gif}


\begin{figure}[h!]
    \includegraphics[width=\linewidth, angle = 0] {images/Climate_Simulation_of_Surface_Air_Temperature.gif}
    \caption{NASA's Map of Antarctic Ice Flow}
    \label{fig:SSBlock}
 \end{figure}

This did not work so I replaced the \begin section with this line of code:

      \includegraphics[width=\linewidth, angle = 0 {images/Climate_Simulation_of_Surface_Air_Temperature.gif}

Still nothing worked. Please let me know how I can insert my .gif file.

    you would have to enable shell escape, but it is much simpler just to convert the gif to png before you run latex then simply \includegraphics{images/Climate_Simulation_of_Surface_Air_Temperature.png} – David Carlisle Dec 05 '20 at 13:12
  • @DavidCarlisle Thanks, but I want the image to move (just like a image in a gif does) when I create a pdf. Is that possible in Overleaf? – Debbie Dec 05 '20 at 18:57
  • It's not possible in PDF you can not embed an animated gif in a PDF file, the fact that you are using latex does not change that. It is possible to take the frames out of the gif and build embed as a PDF animation for viewers that support that but certainly that is something you want to construct externally not do on the fly in includegraphics – David Carlisle Dec 05 '20 at 19:02
