SUMMARY In the 6.3.1 update message said, that the gif support was added in Spectacle: https://kde.org/announcements/changelogs/plasma/6/6.3.0-6.3.1/ and https://invent.kde.org/graphics/spectacle/-/commit/784e539a1e0222f382a9d4aa2c9a988576368f94 I wanted to test this, but it seems that this option is not in the settings.

Now I’ve built the git version and it’s fine, I can choose gif. Is it a build problem or are the necessary changes just not released?

I see this in the code: if (format == Gif && encoders.contains(Encoder::Gif)) { So it looks like the version you didn't build from source was somehow compiled without GIF support. I'd recommend talking to your distro's packagers about that.
There is something weird going on here. GIF support is in the 6.3 branch, bot not in the 6.3.0 or 6.3.1 tags. Looks like spectacle is not being released from the 6.3 branch?
Indeed, 6.3.0 and 6.3.1 were released from the old release/24.12 branch
