Yes GD2 2.028 and above support GIF images

GIF is a real old image type not used alot anymore but licensing restrictions kept GD2 from having GIF support for many years. About a year ago the original companies license expired and GD2 was free to include support for GD2. Imagemagick has always had GIF support because they choose to pay the royalties to have permissions to use it.
