Animated .APNGs being smushed and turned static

Hello @cudak888 ,

Can you please check this code:

add_filter('wp_smush_image', 'wpmudev_no_smush_img', 10, 2);
function wpmudev_no_smush_img($smush, $ID) {
    if(!$ID) return false;
    
    $type = get_post_mime_type($ID);
    switch($type) {
        case 'image/apng':
            return false;
        break;
    }
    
    return true;
}

That should exclude apng from smushing.

Thank you for this. I just tried it.

The code properly skips the full-size image, but all cropped and resized variants of said image are still smushed upon upload.

Any potential solution?

Hello @cudak888,

I sincerely apologise for the delay in response here. I went ahead and checked the same on my end and also checked with the dev team where it looked good to me. Could you please link me to one image where the issue occurs? Please make sure to not change the name of the image too. Keep the image as it is so to make sure we are able to replicate the same. You could upload the image to the google drive or dropbox or simply link the media file link from your site media library.

Thank you,
Prathamesh Palve
