Enhancing slides in PowerPoint aims to make your presentation more persuasive and captivating. Decorating slides with animations is widely favored for this purpose. There are numerous methods to embed animated GIFs in PowerPoint, and we can explore each method individually.
1. Embedding GIFs from Your Computer
To insert an animated GIF into a PowerPoint slide from your computer, open the Insert ribbon on the toolbar. Then select Pictures under the Images section.
Afterwards, you can select dynamic images from your computer. Dynamic images typically have a .gif file extension, so be mindful to avoid confusion with regular images.
Once you've chosen a suitable image, click on Insert to add the image.
After the image is inserted, you can move it to the appropriate position within the PowerPoint slide.
Upon inserting the image onto the slide, you may notice it doesn't animate as expected because PowerPoint's editing interface doesn't support such motion display.
To determine if an image truly animates, you need to test it by clicking on the slideshow icon in the top corner of PowerPoint.
In addition to inserting images from your computer using Insert, you can also directly drag and drop images from your image folder onto the slide page.
2. Inserting GIFs Online
Aside from inserting images from your computer, you can also search and insert images directly from online sources.
You can also expand the Insert ribbon on the toolbar, then instead of selecting Pictures under Images, choose Online Pictures.
You have the option to insert images from Bing or OneDrive.
Bing is a separate search engine by Microsoft with a vast image repository. Here, you can search for animated images by entering keywords along with the gif keyword, then click the magnifying glass icon to start the search.
Alternatively, if you have your gif images stored on the cloud storage OneDrive, you can search directly there.
After selecting the desired image, click on Insert to insert the gif image. You can insert multiple gif images at once.
Another quick method to insert images into PowerPoint slides is to directly copy animated gif images from the web. Right-click on the image and select Copy Image (or Copy in English).
Then, open your PowerPoint slide, right-click on the slide, and choose the Paste icon. Alternatively, you can use the Ctrl V shortcut to paste the animated image into the slide.
The animated image you copied from the web will be inserted into the slide at the desired location.
