A GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) is an animated image that has multiple frames encoded into a single image file (no audio). GIF files will normally be played automatically (in loop) in web browsers and other compatible tools.
The following external resources provide more information on how to share GIF files in other platforms and tools:

Additional tips for creating GIFs:
- Use enter and exit effects to create a seamless loop.
- Don’t use too much motion or quick repetitive loops and limit your use of color.
- Keep your video short, accessible and appropriate.
- Choose a resolution best for the platform you are uploading your GIF to.
