I frequently refer to Google Slides as the Swiss Army Knife of the G Suite tools because it is capable of being so much more than a presentation tool. Want more Google Slides Ideas? Join the Google SLIDES Master Class Online Course Note: I used the SnagIt Chrome extension to creates these animations, but the extension will be discontinued in August. Your animations can be for humor and other emotional responses, or they can be to show how-to complete tasks as I did above. It’s a great way to engage students (and adults). So take the time to spice up your presentations, documents and more with animated GIFs. Copy and paste the image address you copied above.Inside your document/slide, go to the Insert menu.The only way to get the animation to work is to insert by URL. Insert By URL in Docs, Slides, Sheets, Drawings, etc. (Note: this will vary in other browsers, but you should be using Chrome anyway!) Simply right-click to copy the image address as shown in the animation below. Locate the URL (or Image Address as it’s called in Chrome) of the GIF you wish to use. Watch the animation below for an example. You can use the advanced search filter in Google images to find GIFs. If you try to import, you will notice, they do not animate.
It’s not hard to insert GIFs in Docs and Slides, but there is only one way to make them work. Note: This works in the entire Google Drive suite of apps! Just kept it to Docs and Slides for the purpose of titling this post.
