Yes, it is possible to activate a gif animation on hovering the PNG logo image in the top nav using Webflow. Here's how you can achieve this:

  1. Prepare your GIF animation: First, you need to have the GIF animation ready. Make sure you have a GIF file that you want to use for the animation.

  2. Upload the PNG logo: In the Webflow Designer, navigate to the page where you want to add the animation. Upload your PNG logo image by dragging and dropping it onto the page or by using the Image component.

  3. Add a div wrapper: Wrap the PNG logo with a div element by clicking on the PNG logo image, then selecting the "Wrap with div" option in the right-hand panel.

  4. Add a GIF image: Inside the div wrapper, add an Image component by dragging and dropping it inside the div. Upload the GIF file you want to use for the animation.

  5. Position the GIF image: Position the GIF image on top of the PNG logo by setting the GIF image's position to "absolute" and adjusting the top and left values until it overlays perfectly on the PNG logo.

  6. Add hover interactions: Select the GIF image and click on the "+" icon in the Interaction panel to Add New Interaction. Choose the "Hover" trigger and select the "While hovering" option.

  7. Animate the GIF: In the Interaction panel, add an animation property to the GIF image by clicking on the "+" icon next to "Affect" and choosing "Transform".

  8. Specify animation settings: With the animation property selected, choose the "Scale" option and set the initial scale value to 100%. Then, add a new step and set the hover state's scale value to a larger percentage to increase the size of the GIF image on hover. You can also add easing and duration settings to customize the animation further.

  9. Publish and test: Once you're done, publish your site to see the GIF animation in action. Test it by hovering over the PNG logo in the top nav, and the GIF animation should activate.

By following these steps, you can activate a GIF animation on hovering the PNG logo image in the top nav using Webflow.
