To create your own stickers for Instagram Stories<\/strong> you will have to upload several
\nbackgroundless GIFs to Giphy<\/strong> and contact them, a process that we will explain in detail.
\nOnce you get a verified account and have uploaded content, you will be able to use your
\nown GIFs in Instagram Stories<\/strong> and add a unique touch to your account.<\/p>\n

What is a GIF or Sticker?<\/h2>\n

Instagram stickers<\/strong> are all the options<\/strong> that appear in Instagram Stories<\/strong> when you are going to
\npublish one. That is to say, they are the stickers of mention, survey, questions, GIF and the<\/strong>
\nrest of emojis<\/strong>. In this case, let’s go deeper into the GIF stickers, so you can create and add
\nyours.<\/p>\n

Since we are defining things, let’s explain where the acronym GIF <\/strong>comes from: Graphics<\/strong>
\nInterchange Format<\/strong>. And before having them integrated into our keyboards, if you wanted to
\nsend one to someone to express your feelings (because a GIF is worth a thousand words), it
\nhad to be like that:<\/p>\n

How to make a GIF<\/h2>\n

If you don’t know graphic design<\/strong> or your company can’t turn to a designer<\/strong>, on the same
\nwebsite they have a GIF creator<\/strong> that will be very helpful.<\/p>\n

How to make an image GIF<\/h3>\n

The process is very simple<\/strong>. Simply upload the images<\/strong> you want to the GIF<\/strong> creator<\/strong>. For
\nexample, it could be a burst of photos<\/strong> of you reacting to something. Or a photo from your
\nwindow every day. Once you’ve uploaded them, you can rearrange them and adjust how
\nlong they’re on screen.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

How to make a GIF of a video<\/h3>\n

You can GIF both videos<\/strong> you upload and videos already hosted on YouTube<\/strong>, Vimeo<\/strong> or even
\nGiphy<\/strong>. As soon as you upload it, the website will take you to a screen where you can choose
\nhow long you want it to last<\/strong>. Then you can add animated messages, more GIF (gifception),
\nfilters… And now you can upload<\/strong> it directly to Giphy!<\/p>\n

How to download a Giphy GIF<\/h2>\n

To download a Giphy GIF, all you have to do is right-click<\/strong> on the GIF and click “Save Image<\/strong>
\nAs…”.<\/strong><\/p>\n

How to upload a GIF to Instagram<\/h2>\n

To upload a GIF to Instagram Stories you first have to do these steps:<\/p>\n

1. Create<\/strong> a GIF with a transparent background.<\/p>\n

2. Upload<\/strong> it to Giphy.<\/p>\n

3. Verify<\/strong> your Giphy account.<\/p>\n

4. You can now find<\/strong> your GIFs in the story finder!<\/p>\n

How to verify your Giphy account<\/h2>\n

First of all, you need to create an account<\/strong> at Giphy<\/strong>. There are two possibilities, either as an
\nindividual artist<\/strong> or as a brand\/company<\/strong>. Once you have it, it’s time to fill in your information<\/strong>,
\nwith your social networks, an image, a text talking about you. You know.<\/p>\n

(If they don’t accept your request you can continue creating your account as a normal user,
\nand then ask to be verified)<\/p>\n

It’s time to start uploading your original creations<\/strong>. That is, if you want to be verified, you can
\nnot copy and paste GIF that are not yours.<\/p>\n

If you want your GIFs to appear in the Instagram Stories search engine<\/strong>, make sure they
\nhave a transparent background<\/strong>, as if it were a PNG image. Only then will you be able to use
\nthem in Stories.<\/p>\n

Already have 10 uploads<\/strong>? It’s time to contact Giphy.<\/p>\n

Send your email with your account name (and a text asking if they can verify it) to
\nsupport@giphy.com<\/strong> or partnerships@giphy.com. In our experience, it may take a while and
\nyou may have to insist a little. Patience… And good luck!<\/p>\n

Statistics of your GIF<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Once you have your Giphy account verified, you will be able to view statistics<\/strong> such as how
\nmany times each GIF has been viewed.<\/p>\n

Remember to add a description<\/strong> to your account telling what you do, and also tag<\/strong> your
\ncreations to make them easy to find. For example, if your GIF belongs to someone who fails
\na basket, put things like ‘sad’, ‘basketball’, ‘miss’…<\/p>\n

You don’t need to do anything else to upload your GIF to Instagram. All you have to do is
\nopen it, go to the GIF finder<\/strong> and type in the name of your account<\/strong> – it’s your GIF!<\/p>\n

We have prepared a mini-video<\/strong> for you so that there is no doubt about how to use them and
\nshow that you are influencing<\/strong>… and the rest are not.<\/p>\n
