How to Embed an Animated GIF in HTML for Email Advertising
- 1). Launch your HTML editor. Open the HTML file in which you're looking to embed the animated gif.
- 2). Place your cursor in the spot where the animated gif will reside.
- 3). Copy the following code into that location:
<img src="URL" />
Replace the URL with the link to the animated gif. Make sure it's the full URL with http:// and not just the directory on your server. - 4). Alter the location of the gif, if necessary. You can embed the graphic within text, either to the left, right or middle of it. Add the code align="left" after the quotation mark after the URL. Replace left with right or middle, depending on your desired location.
Example:
<img src="URL" align="left" /> - 5). Save your HTML document. Preview it in your browser to confirm the changes were properly made. If so, copy and paste the HTML into your webmail program and send.
