GIPHY ✴ how to apply as an artist + get your GIFs approved for IG stories

hiii everyone!

I hope this is helpful & encourages you to submit your own GIFs! honestly I think the most confusing/mysterious part of the process is the timeline - but it ended up being much faster & smoother than I expected!

in the meantime, you can still use your GIFs personally by copying and adding them as a sticker! I included how to do this in my video about making GIFs for IG stories, which you can find here: https://youtu.be/nLqIWO5kTi4

one last thing that I forgot to mention in the video - when you tag your GIFs, make sure to add your name or a tag that’s specific to you so your insta friends can easily find & use your stickers :) I used “gladdest” for mine!

let me know if you have any questions and I’ll do my best to help! can’t wait to see & use your GIFs in my insta stories!!

p.s. sorry if the “jiff”/“jiffy” pronunciation drives you crazy, lol - but I looked it up and the ~creator of the GIF~ said that’s how you pronounce it!! so I’m sticking with it ;)
