Description
### Expected behavior
Uploading an animated .gif should in the image uploader either:
A: Upload the animated gif successfully, like any other image format
B: Present a proper error stating this image type cannot be uploaded
### Actual behavior
Attempting to upload an animated .gif causes the webpage to hang for several seconds, then displays a 500 internal server error message
### Steps to reproduce the behavior
1: Edit a notebook page
2: Navigate to the Gallery tab (URL `/edit#gallery_panel`)
3: Attempt to upload an animated .gif
For reference, this is the image file that was attempted:

Research direction
Start in the notebook page editor at the Gallery tab (/edit#gallery_panel) and reproduce the failure with the linked animated GIF. Trace the upload flow to determine whether animated GIFs should succeed or receive a clear unsupported-type error; done means the page no longer hangs or returns a 500 error.
