How to Add Animated GIFs to Your Gallery
Would you like to create an animated GIF gallery on your site using Envira? You can easily create an animated GIF gallery. We’ll going to walk you through each step needed to create a cool looking animated GIF gallery.
Requirements
- Any Envira Gallery license level. Learn how to purchase or upgrade to one of these licenses.
Setup
Step 1 – Create your gallery
First, you’ll need to either create a new gallery or edit an existing gallery. If you need any help creating your first gallery, please review our documentation here.
Step 2 – Upload GIFs
Next, upload your animated GIF images to your Envira gallery.
To do this, click the Select Files from Other Sources button and upload and insert your images.
Step 3 – Configure Your Settings
Your last step before publishing your new animated GIF gallery is to make sure you’ve selected the original image size.
This is a very important step. If you don’t choose the Original Image size from the Image Size dropdown, your GIFs will not animate in the gallery.
Navigate to the Configuration tab.
From the Image Size dropdown, choose Original Image as the size.
Step 4 – Publish Your Gallery
Your final step is to click Publish on your new animated GIF gallery!
And that’s it! You’ve now created an animated GIF gallery! Have a look at our own animated gallery below.
