How to add GIFs to your emails

What is GIF? GIF is an image file, just like JPEG, PNG but contain animation. That means you can include GIF the same way you include other images. Animated GIFs are great way to attract your customers attention the moment they open your email, which is not typically possible with static email designs.

GIFs become increasingly popular in email marketing because it is easy to adopt into email. GIFs are well supported by most email clients, but it still does not work everywhere. Outlook 2007, 2010 and 2013 will only display the first frame of the animation. To accommodate for this, always ensure the first frame of the image tells the important message. 

If you have no idea how to create GIF, you can always use GIPHY.

Important: You can use GIF as an alternative for embedding the video in your email.
