How to add GIF in HTML

Making it Simpler Than You Thought

If you're wondering how to add a GIF in HTML, I'm here to help. It's actually simpler than you might think. Animated GIFs can add a touch of fun and personality to your web pages. Here I will explain it in simple steps.

Self-Hosted GIF-Animations as Videos

If you plan to serve the animation file from your website, you can use the HTML5 video tag to embed it. This will allow you to control the playback of the animation, including looping and autoplay.

How to Insert a GIF into HTML

To insert a GIF into HTML, you will use the standard HTML image tag. Here's the basic syntax:

 <img src="path-to-gif" alt="description"> 

Before you can add a GIF to your HTML code, you need to select the GIF you want to use and upload it to your web server.

To insert the animated GIF into your HTML content, use the <img> tag. The src attribute specifies the URL or file location of the GIF.

 <img src="https://example.com/path/to/gif.gif" alt="Animated GIF"> 

Adding a GIF to a Web Page

To add a GIF to a web page, you can use the HTML img tag. Here's how:

1. Open your HTML document in a text editor.
2. Locate the place where you want to add the GIF.
3. Insert the following code:

 <img src="path-to-gif" alt="description"> 

Replace "path-to-gif" with the actual path to the GIF file on your server. Replace "description" with a brief description of the GIF.

Save your changes and upload the HTML file to your web server.
