- GIF as in GIFT. Not JIF as in peanut butter. The "G" stands for "graphic" which is a soft "G." See https://gizmodo.com/the-creator-of-the-gif-says-its-pronounced-jif-he-is-509179289 for more commentary.
- Eh. He invented it, he can name it, right?
- Just a note that Canva has a function where you can either put together a set of pages with images that they turn into a gif or mp4. You can also convert mp4s to gifs. Their sizing works perfectly for RISE when you indicate a landscape banner.
- Oh this is a great tip Nancy! Thanks for sharing :D
- these are awesome. you can also create custom gifs by adding images into PowerPoint with animation, then exporting to a video. The last step then is to convert to a gif using one of the free online conversion tools out there.
- Search online for GIF "generators" and you can do this all with one tool to save a few steps/clicks (e.g., Google Photos).
- These are so awesome! I would love to see a rollercoaster ride, floating bubbles, and maybe a fireworks scene. I can imagine those being used for so many different course subjects. Thank you!
- This is fantastic. I just changed the cover on one of our driving courses. Small change big impact. Thanks...
- Awesome Sheri! So glad you could use it right away :D
- hi Laura, this is great. I tried to upload the gif file you provided for download, but it came up with this error
Please verify the file type is an image and try again.
Any ideas? Thanks- Hi John, which image was it that gave you this issue?
- Thanks for getting back to me Laura!
It was the ‘stormy’ gif that gave me the issue. I tried a much smaller gif downloaded elsewhere and it was fine. Not sure why though

- Hi Laura,
I'm a bit late to the comments...
I notice that the Rise cover photo 'tops & tails' the gifs to make them autofit the different ipad, laptop, phone dimensions etc (your storm example loses the lighting strike at the top etc).
Is there a 'best dimension' for a gif to ensure that most of it is visible on screen or is it best to have some white space around the outside, so that gets chopped and not say the head on a photo?
thanks
Ian
