In principle this can not be done because it is normally done is edit the GIF, you have two one with repetition and one without it, when you are interested with JS you change one for another.
Anyway you have libraries like
-
link = > Prevents gif autoplay
Or in stackoverflow English version this script was published
[].slice.apply(document.images).filter(is_gif_image).map(freeze_gif);
function is_gif_image(i) {
return /^(?!data:).*\.gif/i.test(i.src);
}
function freeze_gif(i) {
var c = document.createElement('canvas');
var w = c.width = i.width;
var h = c.height = i.height;
c.getContext('2d').drawImage(i, 0, 0, w, h);
try {
i.src = c.toDataURL("image/gif"); // if possible, retain all css aspects
} catch(e) { // cross-domain -- mimic original with all its tag attributes
for (var j = 0, a; a = i.attributes[j]; j++)
c.setAttribute(a.name, a.value);
i.parentNode.replaceChild(c, i);
}
}
