@martin-braun I have a lead on this issue. By default, pngpaste will use the output filename to determine the final format, but with -b it defaults to PNG format, not GIF. Working on a new parameter -t <type> or -f <format> so -b -f gif should work. We'll see soon.

@martin-braun (years later) do you have an example file?

Alright, copy this GIF animation:

Now, in the terminal it would be nice to do this to get the entire GIF animation back:

FILE=pngpaste_gif_test.html
echo '<html><body><img src="data:image/gif;base64,' > $FILE
pngpaste -b >> $FILE
echo '" /></body></html>' >> $FILE

Now if you open the file in the browser it will only show the first frame, instead of the whole animation. Same goes to creating a file directly, i.e. pngpaste mygif.gif.

Essentially, I'm asking for GIF animation support. This would be a huge benefit for me.
