It\u2019s a popular image format that\u2019s been around since the 80\u2019s.

To help, we\u2019ve put together a list of best practices you should be following when putting GIFs in emails.<\/p>\n<h3>1 \u2013 One GIF per email<\/h3>\n<p>One GIF is perfect for adding an exciting, attention-grabbing element to your email. More than one and your email is getting too distracting.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>2 \u2013 Enhance the main message<\/h3>\n<p>Your GIF should serve a purpose. Don\u2019t include a one that doesn\u2019t relate to your content and the action you want your audience to take.<\/p>\n<h3>3 \u2013 Add a link to your GIF<\/h3>\n<p>People may try clicking on the GIF itself, so take advantage of this and direct them to a relevant landing page.<\/p>\n<h3>4 \u2013 Keep the GIF file size small<\/h3>\n<p>Aim to keep your GIF file size under 40KB. You don\u2019t want your email to be so large that your audience won\u2019t even receive it.<\/p>\n<h3>5 \u2013 Test your email<\/h3>\n<p>Always test your emails. Most email clients will display GIFs, but there are some exceptions. In these situations, the GIFs will display as static images.<\/p>\n<h3>6 \u2013 Add alt image text<\/h3>\n<p>In those situations where a GIF may not render make sure you add alt image text so people understand what the GIF was about. Be as descriptive as possible.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How to add a GIF to an email<\/strong> in AWeber<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> Download your GIF and save it to your computer.
