You can easily add a GIF into your form with the GIPHY plugin.

Let us look at the different ways we can use the GIPHY Plugin to insert a GIF into our form.

Directly onto form

Using slash commands

  1. On a blank line in the form editor, type/giphyand select GIPHY from the dropdown menu.
  2. A window will appear with some suggested GIFs.
  3. Choose your desired GIF or search for a particular keyword using the search bar.

Without using slash commands

  1. In the form editor, select the line on the page where you want to add an image.

  2. Choose the Add picture icon to the left of that line.

  3. This will open an upload image window with Computer selected by default. Simply select GIPHY, and find the GIF you desire.

    NOTE: Once the GIF has uploaded, you can access a range of formatting options by selecting the GIF.

Multiple-choice Images

You can have both an image or GIF added to a multiple-choice question option.

  1. Click on the configure icon (cogwheel) to enter the multiple-choice configuration.
  2. Scroll until you see Add images to the options; toggle this on.
  3. Click CHOOSE A FILE.
  4. This will open an upload image window with Computer selected by default. Simply select GIPHY, and find the GIF you desire.

Background GIF

To make the background of your form as engaging as can be, you can include a GIF as the background.

  1. In the form editor go to Theme → UI Elements → Background.

  2. Click CHOOSE A FILE and select the GIPHY tab.

  3. Select a GIF and you are done.

    You can set the transparency of your GIF by clicking the box that appears beneath Overlay Color.

Cover Image

A cover image will appear when you link your form to social media. You can use a GIF as your cover image.

  1. Go to Configure → Details
  2. Click CHOOSE A FILE and select GIPHY, make a selection.

Dynamic Success Page

On Pro and Agency plans, you can create your own custom success pages.

To add a GIF to your success page:

  1. Go to After Submission > Success Pages & Redirects, and toggle on Dynamic Success Pages & Redirects if it is not already on.
  2. Click the Edit button next to the relevant success page, or add a new one.
  3. Scroll down to "Submission Screen Design" and there you can edit the content on the screen just like you can edit content when making a form. Select the Add Picture icon and select GIPHY.

Gotchas

If you edit a GIF using the built-in image editor, it will be saved as a PNG instead (a still image with no animation).
