How to Embed a GIF in an Outlook Email

To embed a GIF in an Outlook email, you need to follow these steps:

  1. Open your Outlook application or go to the Outlook web page.
  2. Click on 'New Email' or 'Reply' to start composing your message.
  3. Position the cursor in the body of the email where you want to insert the GIF.
  4. Go to the 'Insert' tab in the ribbon (Outlook desktop app) or click on the 'Insert Pictures Inline' icon (Outlook on the web).
  5. If you are using the desktop app, select 'Pictures' and then navigate to the GIF file saved on your computer. If you are using Outlook on the web, you may need to click on 'Pictures inline' and then choose to upload the GIF from your computer.
  6. Once selected, the GIF will be embedded in your email message.
  7. After embedding the GIF, continue composing your email and send it when you're ready.

Note that GIFs must be in the .gif file format and not too large to ensure compatibility with the email recipient's email client.
