From your me! section it seems like you know how to add image right? GIF is basically the same.

Note that there's a filesize limit which is 4MB or else it won't work.

Have you tried changing the dimensions of the gif on a website like ezgif or compress-or-die ?

Based off what Death said here, this is more than likely what's happening:

. . .I'm not sure what the max dimensions/size is for covers, but it probably works the same way that avatars do, where if you upload something that goes over any of the max dimensions, it is automatically resized and converted to a jpeg.

it make sense because a png can be an image sequence but i think my problem is that my file is too big and i cant compress it without making it looks like trash, thx for the help btw

You need to use an animated PNG file. (aPNG) That is currently the only supported way to get an animated banner/profile picture at the moment.

This is not correct, you can upload GIFs.
