Can you put GIFs on Squarespace?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 11:40 pm

GIFs are one of the most popular forms of animation on the internet, and they can be a great addition to your website. However, like most things on Squarespace, GIFs can be a bit tricky to put on your site.

First, you’ll need to create a GIF file. You can use a free online tool like Giphy to do this, or you can use a more advanced tool like GIF maker.

Once you’ve created your GIF, you’ll need to add it to your website. To do this, you’ll first need to add a media item to your website.

You can do this by clicking on the Media tab on your website, and then clicking on Add Media.

PRO TIP: GIFs are not currently supported on Squarespace. If you attempt to upload a GIF, you will receive an error message.

Next, you’ll need to find your GIF file. You can find it by clicking on the Media item that you added, and then clicking on the GIF tab.

Finally, you’ll need to add the GIF to your website. To do this, you’ll need to click on the GIF tab, and then click on Add to Website.

Once you’ve added the GIF to your website, you’ll need to resize it. To do this, you’ll need to click on the Resize icon (the three lines in a circle), and then enter the dimensions of your GIF.

Once you’ve resized your GIF, you’ll need to add it to your website. To do this, you’ll need to click on the Add to Website icon (the three lines in a circle), and then enter the URL of your website.

Congratulations! You’ve successfully added a GIF to your website!.
