How to add a GIF to an email

You can add an animated GIF to any email: a campaign, an automated email or a recurring email. Use one of your own, or pick one from Giphy.

Add it to your email

1. Open the email in the editor.
2. Drag the GIF block into your email where the animation should appear.
3. Click the block, then click Choose image next to the GIF URL field.
4. Choose My GIFs to pick one of your own, or Giphy to search Giphy.

The GIF now shows in your email.

Using your own GIF

My GIFs lists every GIF in your account's files, including the ones you picked from Giphy before. To add a new one, click Upload image at the bottom of the picker and select your GIF. You can also upload it in the dashboard under Data → Files with Add file, and it shows up under My GIFs too.

When the GIF doesn't show

If the block shows a red warning, "This GIF can't be loaded", the address under GIF URL doesn't work, for example because of a typo or because the file was removed. Your contacts would see a broken image there, so check the address or choose another GIF.

GIFs can't be cropped in the editor, and some versions of Outlook only show the first frame. See Why your email looks different in Gmail, Outlook or on a phone.
