How To Make Your Own GIFs for Instagram Stories (tutorial)

[@sajejekyllhyde4647]

This is so great for someone like me who doesn’t find any existing gifs appealing enough to suit my brand, I can now create my own customized gifs based on my branding for my IG stories, thank you so much for sharing this.

[@AbbeySy]

For sure! The main reason I also wanted to make GIFs was because I couldn’t find ones that suited my preferences. Happy GIF making! 💛👋🏻

Hi abbey! You can actually use the animation assist when creating gifs so that every time you add a new layer, you don’t have to adjust the opacity and you can also play around with the frames per second. 😊

[@AbbeySy]

Oh!! Thanks for this tip :) Yay! Will try it next time!

[@kimr2245]

Thank you, Miss Abbey!! 💖💖

[@chrizens_creations]

Aw! This is really so nice. Been meaning to have my art as GIFs. BTW, I've already used some of yours (Yay! must be my fave). Your penmanship is a bomb!

Alas even though I met the criteria, they said the upgrade was limited, so rejected me. It's a shame I didn't see thos video when you posted it! I just wanted to add a few gifs for the jumprope community. Thanks for the video though!

[@putitinpaper]

Yay! Thanks for this! I've been wondering how to do this for quite some time! 🙌🏻😍🌻

[@AbbeySy]

YAY!

thanks for the tips! :D

Thank you for this easy to follow tutorial Abbey! I've always wanted to try digital art but I don't know where to begin. Plus the fact that I don't how to draw or sketch.😅 Your video is a good start on how to learn basic digital art.🥰 This is the sign I'm waiting for. Haha. I hope you can also do an updated digital collage using procreate this time. Just curious, is it easier to do stuff like this on photoshop or procreate? Thank you so much! Stay safe and healthy💕

[@AbbeySy]

You can do it! Hmm I prefer collage on Photoshop for some reason!

[@justlilygrace]

I learned to make gifs in Adobe Photoshop but seeing in in Procreate, I want iPad pro now. It's easy using procreate.

[@peach.vanillaa]

Hi 🌼 , i have a question , how did we know how many people were using our gif on instagram ? did they sent us data ? Thanks for ready my comment 🌼

[@AbbeySy]

You can check it when you log in your GIPHY account. Not how many people used it but how many people have viewed it

[@peach.vanillaa]

@@AbbeySy owhh , understaood. Thanks vm ✨🌙💛

[@emmanuelocheodumu3912]

Hi Abbey, great tutorial. I have an issue and it's kinda strange. After creating my gifs and uploading them on giphy, they are very clean and sharp. Once they become visible on Instagram, they are still clean and sharp on Instagram for android but very blurred and pixalated on Instagram for iPhone. What do you think might be the problem?

[@AbbeySy]

I experienced smth similar and after lots of research, it really ends up like that :( I suggest trying out different brushes and avoid pencil ones (more solid, better) so that the quality doesn't diminish as much!

[@nyhl.x6885]

Hi! I would like to ask about my problem, i just uploaded my gifs in giphy but they're still not appearing on ig it's been 3 or 4 days, i don't know what's the problem 😅

[@AbbeySy]

Did you put the right hashtags? you can double check or ask GIPHY. Hehe.

[@nyhl.x6885]

@@AbbeySy Oki! Thank you for answering!!

[@seedscent6651]

In iPad ?

[@ReviewJa_]

How long they would appear on GIF instagram

[@AbbeySy]

I think they are there indefinitely as long as they are on GIPHY?

[@dreyse1]

Do you have an Android app that can do what you taught? Thanks Tem algum app para Android que consegue fazer o mesmo que você ensinou? Obrigada

[@AbbeySy]

Not sure but you can try Photoshop on your computer or there are gif making sites online like Canva

[@TkFam4040]

Do you get paid for your gif being used ?

[@AbbeySy]

No unfortunately not!

[@m.pravin4503]

after uploading my transparent png giphy added black background. plz help it makes the whole sticker useless

[@AbbeySy]

Maybe try contacting GIPHY cos I haven’t encountered an issue so far? I upload animated gif transparent files

[@weirdo9739]

Does giphy or Instagram pay 💰you for making please reply 😍

[@AbbeySy]

Sadly no :-( not sure about the others

[@weirdo9739]

@@AbbeySy okay👌 (๑`✪̤◡✪̤)◞ღԵհɑղƘՏღ for letting me know

[@cartimandua4709]

Nice but how can normal people (not artist) create an account? I tried one year ago and the Gif never was approved 😨

[@AbbeySy]

how was it never approved? D: I just made an account before. Maybe check if they have updated guidelines for it
