A World without Gifs? Pointless. Everyone is a fan of gifs, but some restrictions may de-motivate them from making or sharing their own. This particular hurdle was made easy with GfyCat. For those of who don't know what that is, "GifyCat compresses and converts your Gif image into HTML5 Video". And the result? Well ... let me share an example.
GIF: 40MB - Link (It just happens to be at GifyCat too so for this link specifically, assume its some other website): http://giant.gfycat.com/FlatTerrificLabradorretriever.gif
GFYCAT: 2MB - Link: The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014) - Web Swing Spectacle - Gfycat
Just to make things interesting, here is the same gif, which i compressed (resized, posterized, toned down colors -- in Photoshop CC) myself.
GIF: 12.4MB - http://i1109.photobucket.com/albums...ingSpider-Man2-WebSwingSpectacleOptimized.gif
HOW TO EMBED?
1. Upload any gif you want to GfyCat, and take its URL. I'll take the same GfyCat URL which mentioned above, as an example:
2. You will need the file name, mentioned in the URL (without .gif extension). For example, from the URL Above, it will be: "FlatTerrificLabradorretriever"
3. Use following BB Code (without space in 2nd [/gfy]):
4. Example:
![]()
***For those of you, who make an account at GfyCat. They can see their uploads as follows. You can see the (GfyCat assigned) Names. You can copy the name directly from there. (The image's "actual name" can be assigned manually, and can/will be different from your custom assigned one)***
