There are two ways you can insert a GIF into your email campaign:
- Upload a GIF as a regular image (see How to add an image to an email);
- Choose a ready-made GIF from the Giphy library.
To insert an animated GIF from Giphy, first add a row to hold the GIF. Next, select the GIFS block in the left-pane menu and drag it to the block you want to work with.
Customize the block:
- set the width property for the GIF in the block,
- add alternative text to the image,
- add a URL to make your GIF a link.
1 — add an animated image using Giphy, 2 — set up image width, 3 — add alt text, 4 — add an URL
To add a GIF, click the Search for gifs with Giphy button in the left pane or in the GIF block in your email. A pop-up window will appear where you can browse trending GIFs in the Giphy library or type in a keyword in the search box to find a specific GIF. Сlick the GIF to add it to your email design.
