LEARN ABOUT GIFS

What is a GIF?

GIF stands for Graphics Interchange Format, and was developed in 1987 as a moving image. These can be used in many ways, from humorous moving pictures to quick looping clips from movies and shows to branded animated GIFs you can use in marketing. Use these to share memes, stickers, slideshows and more.

Create your own GIFs in Visme by uploading brand elements, images and video relevant to your business, and accessing the millions of available design assets in Visme's editor.

How to Make GIFs in 5 Steps

Everyone knows and loves GIFs on the internet. They’re used for reaction comments and to bring humor and personality into your brand regularly. But they can also be used to create stunning, animated graphics to promote your business, products, services and content.

  • You can choose a pre-animated template or animate a static template yourself.
  • Customize the fonts, colors and illustrated icons to match your brand.
  • Choose your animations for each element. Stick to just two or three different styles.
