Why
- Animated GIFs are short, looping animations made from a series of images or frames. They’re used to convey motion, emotion or a quick visual idea without needing full video.
- Ideas for use:
- Short tutorial or demonstration
- Grab attention
- Highlight a product or process
Good to know
- Provide descriptive alternative text (alt text) for users who cannot see the animation. Most social media platforms allow for alt text.
- Control animations length and behavior:
- GIFs should only be about five seconds
- GIFs should not loop endlessly. You can set how many times the animation will repeat before stopping with Ezgif.com/loop-count
- We have two supported tools for creating animated GIFs - WeVideo and ScreenPal.
