Q: How do I make an animated gif as my signature?
A: First you?ll have to have an animated gif available to use. Usually it?ll be saved to your computer at this point, or you?ll be given a link to save and upload for yourself. You can?t upload your signature with our tools here, so you?ll have to use an outside source. Usually I recommend using an outside upload tool anyway so that you can reference it later in an album, even if you?re not using it. There are a number of websites that will allow for it, and creating an account can save your pictures for years.
Imgur.com
Photobucket.com
NOTE: Tinypic is known to occasionally swap out your images so we highly recommend using one of the above sites instead.
These are the big ones. Remember, if you don?t create an account, usually your image will only be available for a certain amount of time, so remember that you have to use one or it may be deleted while you?re still using it (oh no!)
After you upload the image, you can copy and paste the direct link into image tags, which I?ll show you below. You can preview your signature to make sure it works, and go further into stylizing your signature with text, or even spoilers to show off some of the things you?re most proud of. Please keep in mind, signature size rules include all text, images, and closed spoilers.
