As one of the most popular image formats, Gifs give the user a much more descriptive and entertaining media option to boring old images. They are best for conveying a message in an interesting and quick manner while capturing and maintaining the user’s attention. So, can you add a Gif in PowerPoint? The versatility of PowerPoint allows users to add just about any media file type, including Gifs into the presentation. In this article, we take a look at how to insert a Gif into PowerPoint, allowing you to make your presentations as captivating as you can.
Begin by opening PowerPoint on your computer and then open the presentation you want to add the Gif into. You can also simply create a new presentation by hitting “Ctrl + N” on your keyboard. Now go to the slide you would like to add the image into. You can always move the slides around later.
Simply click on “Insert” from the main menu and then select “Picture.”
Please note that in the regular slide view, the Gif will not animate and will appear static. So, to make sure that the Gif has been properly inserted into the slide and that it is working properly, click on “Slide Show” > “From Current Slide” to see the slide. You can also press “Shift + F5” on your keyboard to view the slide.
Gifs look great on a PowerPoint presentation, but they would look just as great on a PDF document. Yet, there are very few effective ways to add a Gif to a PDF document. That is unless you have one of the best PDF creation and editing tools in the business. This PDF editor is Wondershare Wondershare PDFelement - PDF Editor, the most ideal way to create PDF documents and then add media like Gifs. The following are just some of the features that make PDFelement the ideal solution.
Launch PDFelement and open the PDF document by clicking the “Open File” button in the main window.
When the document is open, navigate to the section or location, you would like to add the Gif, and there are several ways to add the Gif. But the best and easiest is to simply drag and drop the Gif to that location. Once the Gif is on the page, you will see a bunch of options. Click “Add as an image” to add the Gif onto that page.
Once you are happy with the location of the Gif, be sure to save the changes before closing the document. To do that, simply go to “File > Save” or “File > Save As” if you would like to change the filename on the original document. Enter the new filename and choose a suitable location to save the file.
