Instagram GIFs are a great way to express your emotions, share a laugh, or stand out from the crowd. These looping videos have caught on with everyone, from casual users to large corporations.

Now, let’s go over how to post a GIF to Instagram from your phone or computer in detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You must first download the Instagram app before learning\u00a0how to post GIFs to Instagram. GIPHY has a desktop app as well as a mobile app for Android and iOS!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Logging into Facebook makes it much easier to use the GIPHY app and allows you to post GIFs to both Instagram and Facebook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you don’t want to use Facebook, you can log in to the app with an email address and password.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
