How to add a GIF

Not long ago I wrote an article about today we will talk about what can be done with this animation. That is, we will add gifs to our documents, on the wall, or send them as a message to a friend or simply another VKontakte user.

How to make a GIF yourself

The Internet is full of cool GIFs, and great artists just steal them. But if you are not one of those people and you want to create something of your own, then there are a lot of tools for this. Desktop, mobile, online - choose what your heart desires.

We decided to separate conversion from creation, meaning by it a simple process in one or two clicks, in which you specify the source file and, without any extra effort, receive a GIF as an output.

Mac and Windows

Convert Video to GIF () - convert video to GIF using a script in just one click.
Cute Video to GIF (Windows) is a utility for converting video to GIF with customizable parameters.

How to upload a GIF from your computer

And so, if you have made or downloaded a GIF from somewhere and want to add it to your page (wall), first you need to upload it to your documents. To do this, go to your page and click on the link of the same name in the left menu:

A list of our downloaded files opens. If they don’t exist yet, then, naturally, there won’t be any list yet. Click on the “Add Document” button to upload it from your hard drive:

A window pops up with restrictions, which says that the file should not exceed 200 MB and not violate copyright. Supported file types are also listed, including the gif we are interested in.

We read all this and click on the “Select file” button:

Select the animation file on your computer. After downloading, a window will appear in which we will have to select the file type. If you indicate that this is a personal document, then it will not be available for search by other users (you can hide it if this is important to you).

The GIF appears in your saved docks and you can now insert it anywhere. Let's start with our wall.

Now let's try to add a GIF from the link

Let's imagine a situation where we found a beautiful animation on the Internet. And now we want to add her to our VK page. Let's try it, with a gif attached.

But such an interface does not always exist; sometimes you have to go a different route. If there are no special buttons, you can get the link as follows.

Place the mouse cursor over the image, then right-click. In the window that appears, select the item “Copy video link”. Now open another tab in the browser and paste the copied data into the address bar. Change the resolution from mp4 to gif. And copy the final version of the link.

Now we return to VK and go to our wall. Click the cursor in the “What’s new with you” block. And paste the link into the form.

If we did everything correctly in the previous steps, the GIF will automatically load. All that remains is to publish the post - to do this, click on the special button.

Congratulations, you and I have learned how to post GIFs using a link!

A “GIF” is something between a static drawing and full-fledged animation. You can create a GIF yourself. As an example, let's try to make a GIF on VKontakte, and also add it to the wall and send it to friends.
