Seemingly with the FileIO package, possibly:  
[https://github.com/JuliaImages/Images.jl](https://github.com/JuliaImages/Images.jl)

or directly its dependency, that I see supports gif, even it seems animation:  
[https://github.com/JuliaIO/ImageMagick.jl](https://github.com/JuliaIO/ImageMagick.jl)

see also its other dependency I didn’t know of:  
[https://github.com/JuliaImages/ImageShow.jl](https://github.com/JuliaImages/ImageShow.jl)
