<p>Auto AnimateImage is WordPress plugin that applies <a href="http://attosoft.info/en/blog/animate-image/" rel="nofollow ugc">AnimateImage script</a> to your site automatically. AnimateImage displays multiple images continuously like animated GIF. All you have to do is write <code>img</code> element like below, and the image will be animated automatically.</p>
<pre><code><img src="images/0.png" data-files="[0-9].png" />
</code></pre>
<p>As you know, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animated_GIF" rel="nofollow ugc">animated GIF</a> is the most common animation format, but it supports up to only 256 colors. There are some alternative animation formats such as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APNG" rel="nofollow ugc">APNG</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MNG" rel="nofollow ugc">MNG</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JNG" rel="nofollow ugc">JNG</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_JPEG" rel="nofollow ugc">Motion JPEG</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SVG_animation" rel="nofollow ugc">SVG Animation</a>. However they are currently not widely supported by Web browsers. That is why AnimateImage is the most appropriate method for animated images.</p>

Thank you John West for bringing this fantastic plugin back to life :) I published many tutorials years ago and thought they would go to waste. But now I can keep them running and of course I have to also update some of them. 

When I have the time, I will help with the Spanish translation :)

Well done. 

Thank you
