It would be better to export your animation to .webm instead of .gif
While Renpy still support non-animated gif and bmp, those format shouldn't be used in modern games.

Renpy deosn't supports animated gigs. Instead, use ATL to animate instead.

Gif has pretty bad compression. As stated above, use exported frames + ATL, or webm with vp9 codec.
