On an apple//e you need IIGIF to view .gif files.  There are several programs
that allow .gif viewing on a IIgs (which someone else will have to tell you 
about because I use a //e).

You can probably get IIGIF and its dox from apple2.archive.umich.edu.  If you 
have problems let me know and I will send it to you.  You need binscii and 
shrinkit.
