GIFs are a great way to add some personality to your Instagram posts, and Canva makes it easy to create them! Here’s how to upload a GIF from Canva to Instagram.

First, open Canva and sign in or create an account. Then, click on the “Create a design” button and select the “Instagram post” template. You can also search for “GIF” in the search bar to find templates specifically for creating GIFs.

Once you’ve selected a template, you can start adding text, photos, and other elements to your design. When you’re finished, click the “Download” button and select the “GIF” file format.

PRO TIP: When uploading a GIF from Canva to Instagram, be sure to check the file size and format before proceeding. If the file size is too large, it may not upload properly or may take a long time to upload. Additionally, make sure the file format is compatible with Instagram (JPEG, PNG, or GIF).

Now that you have your GIF file, head over to Instagram and open the app. Create a new post or upload a photo, then click on the “Stickers” icon.

From there, select the “Animated Stickers” option and choose the GIF file that you downloaded from Canva. Once it’s uploaded, you can resize and position it anywhere on your photo or video.

Conclusion:

That’s all there is to it! Now you know how to upload a GIF from Canva to Instagram. So go ahead and add some personality to your next post!
