 * is there any way to exclude a certain type of file from being automatically optimized?
 * I have the optimization when I upload the image which is super practical, but
   I would like to exclude the GIFs so they don’t lose the animation

 * Hi [@luisbeonline](https://wordpress.org/support/users/luisbeonline/)
 * There’s no exclusion by filetype, but you can disable the optimization on some
   pictures by checking the option “disable optimization for this image”.
 * We hope it will help!
 * Kind regards,
    Charles
