GIFs have taken the internet by storm and now they are unstoppable.

People love them because they are eye-catching and tell stories that static images simply can’t do.

When used appropriately, they have the power to make an article stand out and keep readers engaged.

There are many websites that offer GIFs but these platforms are the best:

  1. Giphy
  2. Tenor
  3. Imgur

Their collections are massive and organized into categories. The search function works well too when you’re looking for something very specific.

On Giphy, hit the Embed or Share function, then copy-and-paste the URL, and voila — you have a moving picture like this!

(Note: When embedding a GIF, make sure you cite the source clearly and adhere to the owner’s terms of use. In this case, GIPHY
