easy one, imread() won't read any .gif there is no codec for this (license problem)

as a workaround (and if you have ffmpeg support builtin), try:

cap = cv2.VideoCapture("f.gif")
ret, image = cap.read()
cap.release()

if ret:
    # safe to work with image !
    ...

i don't think so. This photo is saved from browser. While most of images working only a few getting this problem. Why only specific photos will have this problem?

gif is animation not image. You will have to used @berak's snippet code.

Of course GIF is a still image format, and was very common for pictures before PNG was invented. Today, though, it is mostly used for small silent animations.
