Add GIFs to Your Page

What is a GIF?

A GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) is an image file that supports both static and animated images. Unlike static pictures, GIFs can loop continuously, making them an excellent choice for adding dynamic and engaging visuals to your content.

Why Add GIFs to Your Page?

Adding GIFs to your pages can:

• Capture Attention: GIFs are eye-catching and can help retain visitor focus.
• Simplify Complex Concepts: Animated visuals can break down processes or ideas in a straightforward and engaging way.
• Enhance Engagement: By adding motion, GIFs make your page more interactive and lively.
