How to post a GIF

First, find the GIF you would like to post

Download it

From there, you can use a site like ezgif.com or a GIF editing app to crop, resize, or compress/optimize it in order to fit within the 1mb upload limit.

You can also modify the GIF in different ways and even add text to it.

Awesome stuff!

If you’re lazy you can also go to

Find the gif you want and click share

Then pick one that’s under 1mb, usually “social” or “small” work, some gifs will be too large no matter what.

Then click “copy gif link” and post it here :+1:

How to turn a series of pictures into a gif

Go to ezgif.com, click on gif maker and manually ordered upload

After uploading the images it will bring you to this screen


From here, I increased the delay (outlined in orange) to emphasize the final picture because I’m making a progressive style slideshow gif, but it’s not neccessary if you’re just combining different/random pics into a gif. Feel free to experiment and find your own style.

After clicking on the “create gif” button, it will do just that and combine the images into a gif. If it’s too fast/slow you can adjust it by hitting the speed button


As you can see, the file size is pretty big. One way to reduce it is to resize the gif

Still not under 1mb, but close, so I went to optimize

After optimizing and getting it under .97mb , hit the save option (.97mb cause when you save it the final size is slightly larger)

And boom!

Hope this inspires some cool gif creations, and I look forward to seeing them :grin:

Thank you
