It’s all well and good until it needs editing in some way, or, if you get your mouse in the way like I always do. In honesty, I use LICEcap for 80% of my gif requirements. I used it to capture myself writing this blog post, and it works like a charm. In fact, it stands for Lightweight Image Composition Engine, and it’s a fantastic little tool to grab sections of your screen and save them as gifs of any length you like. Similar in hilarity to another open source beauty, LAME, fortunately, it’s better than it sounds.

I’m going to run through a few of these and some ways to use them for optimal giffery.

There are a couple of ways to create gifs for your blog if they don’t already exist - and many tools at your disposal, too. …But making your own gets you better quality gifs! If that’s what you want to do, you’re in the exact right part of the article, because the rest of it is going to be about the DIY approach. Find the clip elsewhere and make your own, hi-res gif.Don’t forget to remove the height attribute entirely, or you’ll end up with a distorted monstrosity. Somewhere in there you should see something like width="420" - that wants changing to width="100%".

Edit the image code to stretch the gif to 100% width (there will be some distortion).

If you find that to be a problem, you’ve got a couple of options. If you like your images to be full-width (as we’d prefer here at Process Street), then Giphy’s images are just too low res for your needs. Unless you’re only a fan of French Marxist Art House cinema, there are probably several famous clips immortalized in animation. Go there now and search for your favorite film. Giphy (the Google of gifs) has a huge amount of gifs uploaded by users, and some scraped then automatically tagged from around the web. … Or wanted to lighten the mood a little.

If the gif you’re looking for already exists, then you’ve hit the jackpot! Maybe you’ve thought of a paragraph that goes perfectly with a moment from a film…

Time to crack on with the post and share with you what I’ve learned about using and creating gifs in blog posts. I’ve been using many, many gifs in my blog posts recently, partially thanks to the fact that I’ve been exposed to many more since we added Giphy to our Slack on that fateful June 26th.Īnyway, Giphy has caused enough distraction for one lifetime. Gifs help us make connections with our audience, to explain, engage, entertain and tell stories. I think it’s both of these things, but most of all it’s because you can say more with a gif than you can with actual words. It might be because they’re so immediate and will automatically ‘play’ without the friction of a click. Why’s this? It could be because mobile phones dropped Flash support. Gifs have never been more popular than they are right now. Whether eye-catching, irritating, or actually useful, there’s no denying them.
