Does anyone know how to save gifs?

If I see a gif that I find pretty funny I like to save them and send them to my friends but a lot of the times when I do it , the gif doesn't work and just ends up being a still image. Is there a certain way you're supposed to save them or do some gifs just not work?

Select a gif and paste the link in the url section.

When you save a GIF (or MNG) it always saves all of the frames. Some image viewers only display the 1st frame in animated GIFs and MNGs. Try opening the ones you save using your web browser's File menu, or right-click on the file and click Open With... (depending on your device's operating system) and choose a web browser as the app to open them.

Alternately, there are free and paid image viewing apps which will fully display animated images. Search for "animated image viewers".

Right click, save as and then you should see a little menu, there should be a drop down menu that says something like "save as type" make sure you have gif selected. Or copy and paste the gif link, but that could be slightly more tricky (in my experience anyway as in gif websites you need to copy a particular link for that to work). 😁✨ - this is if you are using a computer though.

I don't have the answer.. but because gifs allow multi frame movement... it doesn't lend itself to easy translation on a image platform. Sorry.

Normally if you open the GIF in a new window and copy the address from the address bar you can send the entire GIF.
i have had luck, using firefox, with Download helper, a plug in from mozilla site
