Automatically sets the Gfycat GIF to HD.
Gfycat Pro changed the way GIFs load for you, only in SD.
This extension sets HD back as the default setting. Just install it and hide it from your Chrome menu. Done!
Enjoy your favorite GIFs in HD.

- Fixed other reported issues
(If you encounter any bugs, specific GIFs not switching to HD, etc, please open an issue on the Support tab. Also might need to tweak some values based on user feedback.)

- (2022-02-11) Laurence Gough: Great idea but sadly it seems to make playback a bit buggy and recently if you switch tabs after pausing the video it always keeps resuming which is really annoying. Uninstalled for now. Thanks though.
- (2022-01-09) Tom Fridman: Automatically turns on audio for ALL gifs so expect to be blasted with audio if you use this. it worked before but now it's not.
- (2021-12-10) Prashant Negi: not working for redgifs :(
- (2020-04-08) Ace Strife: Why this extension even needs to be a thing is just baffling. But I guess that's what happens when your platform isn't making money and you decide to charge people for automatically setting gifs to "HD".. when "HD" should be the default in this day and age. Just sad, really.
- (2020-03-14) Nikolay Pavlov: as developer stated there a problem with embedded gifs: "two issues. 1. If you scroll a through a subreddit with the new design, only the first few posts get set to HD, newly loaded GIFs will remain SD. 2. In the old design, if you click the embed button next to the thumbnail in a subreddit overview, it also only loads in SD" but im sure he'll resolve it!
- (2020-02-06) Sidewinder: Works well and my feedback was actively taken into consideration. Very helpful extension.
- (2019-10-17) tiwtfb: It just works
- (2019-09-18) Andy Gilleand: I mean, it's pretty basic. Does what it says. Got rid of an annoyance, thanks! Only suggestion I'd add is to have an option to also remove the default autoplay if you want.
