GIFs – modern-day expressions that convey emotions and reactions through short video loop animations. These fun, animated images have virtually taken over social media, especially WhatsApp.

Given its popularity, GIFs have become a language of sorts on WhatsApp. Whether it’s a quick reaction to a message, a hilarious meme or a fun animation, GIFs can be found just about anywhere.

And while many users will appreciate the fact that they can share GIFs that are already available across multiple online platforms, sometimes you may want to download specific ones and save them for later. Here’s how to do it:

Step 1: Finding the Right GIF

Before you can download a GIF, you have to find one. The good news is that there are plenty of options. Some of the most common ways to find a GIF include:

– Browsing through popular GIF repositories, such as Giphy, Tenor, and Imgur.
– Through WhatsApp itself – simply search for the GIF you want in the WhatsApp GIF library.
– Google search also offers a vast collection of GIF images that can be used.

Step 2: Downloading the GIF

Once you’ve found the GIF you want and highlighted it, the next step is to download it. Here are a few different ways to do it:

Option 1: Download the GIF using your browser

Right-click on the GIF and choose “Save Image As” (or similar) for an iOS . For Android, tap and hold the GIF and choose “Download Image.”

The location of your download folder will depend on the device you’re using. If you’re using an iPhone, for instance, it will appear in your camera roll. If you’re using an Android device, the image will be saved in your Photo Gallery.

Option 2: Download the GIF using a third-party app

Another option that bypasses the need to save the GIF directly from your browser would be to use a third-party app and save the GIF through them.

Apps such as Giphy or Tenor offer options to save Gifs straight from the app itself. If you frequently use GIFs, it is a good idea to have these apps on your device.

Step 3: Sending the GIF to Your WhatsApp

Once you’ve downloaded the GIF, you can send it to your WhatsApp chat by following these basic steps:

– Open WhatsApp on your smartphone.
– Navigate to the chat where you want to send the GIF and select it.
– Tap on the plus icon located at the bottom of the screen, and select “Photo & Video Library.”
– Then, select the GIF that you’ve downloaded.
– Once selected, you can now add the caption to your GIF, and hit “send.”

Conclusion

And there you have it, a quick and easy guide on how to download a GIF for WhatsApp. This will come in handy when you want to share your favorite GIFs or when you come across one that is too good to be lost in the sea of scrolling. So next time you want to save a GIF and send it later, just remember these three simple steps, and you’ll be all set!
