Use this interactive demo to learn how to insert an animated GIF into your WordPress post or page.

Quick summary

Adding a GIF to WordPress is done through the block editor using the Image block or Media & Text block. You can upload a GIF directly from your computer or select one from the Media Library, then adjust its settings before saving.


Steps

  1. Go to your WordPress dashboard, navigate to Posts or Pages, and open the content where you want to add the GIF.
  2. In the block editor, click the + button to add a new block.
  3. Search for and select the Image block or Media & Text block, depending on your layout preference.
  4. Click Upload to choose a GIF from your computer, or Media Library to select an existing GIF.
  5. Browse and select the GIF file.
  6. After inserting the GIF, adjust its alignment, size, and other settings using the block options.
  7. Click Save to save your changes.

📌 Why this matters

Adding animated GIFs to WordPress posts and pages is a quick way to make content more engaging and visually dynamic without requiring coding skills. WordPress's built-in block editor supports GIF uploads natively, letting content creators insert, resize, and align animated images in seconds. This capability helps bloggers, marketers, and website owners boost on-page engagement and time-on-site metrics. Whether you're uploading a new GIF or reusing one from the Media Library, the process is fully integrated into the WordPress editing workflow.
