Once you have installed a GIF keyboard, you can simply type in a keyword or phrase to find the perfect GIF to express yourself.

Another way to use GIFs is to copy and paste them from a website or social media platform. To do this, simply find the GIF you want to use and right-click on it. Select "Copy Image" from the menu that appears. Then, go to your conversation and right-click again. Select "Paste" from the menu that appears.

There are many different places to find GIFs. One popular website is GIPHY. GIPHY has a huge library of GIFs that you can search through by keyword or phrase. You can also find GIFs on social media platforms like Twitter and Instagram. Simply search for the hashtag #GIF to find a variety of GIFs to use in your conversations.

Tips for Using GIFs

Here are a few tips for using GIFs in your conversations:

• Use GIFs sparingly. Too many GIFs can be overwhelming and distracting.
• Choose GIFs that are relevant to the conversation. Don't just send a random GIF for no reason.
• Be aware of the size of your GIFs. Large GIFs can take a long time to load, and can be frustrating for your recipients.
