Do you want to store these GIFs in the database, or just store references to them?

images:
id,
url

Those aren't stored in the database, just the relative path and filename are. It's much better that way. The page is generated by dynamically setting the image path and filename, then the web server "serves" the image as requested. So to add a new image, you would a) upload the image, then b) insert a row in the database with that image location.
