      Working with GIFs in Email Signatures

      Can I add a GIF/animated logo or banner?

      Yes, a gif file can be used the same as an image file in your email signatures. Banners too, can be animated gif files

      Can Opensense create my GIF?

      The Opensense Design team can add effects to static images (note this may incur an hourly design fee). For example, a twinkle or bouncing arrow on a static image. For a more complex animated GIF, your team will need to have it created by someone who provides gif creation services. For very complex GIFs, video animation may be required

      What should the file size be?

      The final file should be less than less than 500KB and meet 1x retina standards. The smaller it is, the better

      Is there anything else I should know?

      If you are using O365 you must mark the image inline

      When resizing gifs, if you do not have access to photoshop, you should use an online converter. We recommend using this online converter
