Solution 2:

Asked the same question on Glide Github and got the answer there. Apparently Glide will only resize images that are larger than 500 x 500, unless a fitCenter() (or any other) transformation is used.

So, to resize the .gif file, use this code:

byte[] bytes = Glide.with(context)
                        .load(url)
                        .asGif()
                        .toBytes()
                        .transform(new GifDrawableTransformation(new CenterCrop(context), Glide.get(context).getBitmapPool()))
                        .into(250, 250)
                        .get();
