Would you like to create an animated GIF gallery on your site using Envira? You can easily create an animated GIF gallery. We’ll be going to walk you through each step needed to create a cool-looking animated GIF gallery.

## 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](https://enviragallery.com/docs/creating-first-envira-gallery/ "Creating Your First Envira Gallery").

### 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.

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.

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.
