Adding GIFs to a Micro training

Add a GIF to a Micro training through the Image element — no separate GIF element or search. Covers supported formats, the 10 MB limit, and using motion sparingly.

A GIF is just an animated image file, so you add one to a Micro training the same way you'd add any picture: with an Image element. There's no separate GIF element and no built-in GIF search — you upload the GIF file you already have.


Add a GIF to a slide

On the slide where you want it, add an Image element and upload your file. An animated GIF plays on its own and loops while the participant is on the slide, so there's nothing extra to switch on.

The same limits apply as for any image: the file needs to be a standard image format (GIF, JPG, PNG, WebP, or SVG) and under 10 MB. A long or high-resolution GIF can reach that limit quickly, so if an upload is rejected for size, trim its length or export it smaller.


Use them sparingly

Motion draws the eye, which is exactly why a GIF helps in the right spot and distracts in the wrong one. Reach for one when the movement itself carries the point — showing a gesture, a before-and-after, or a bit of personality to lighten a dry stretch — and skip it when a still image would say the same thing more calmly. Keep the content appropriate for the audience, the same as any other media in the journey.


Preview it

Preview the slide as a participant to check the GIF loads, animates, and sits well alongside the rest of the slide before you launch.
