Thank you for this! I followed and now have my gifs searchable on Insta stories. But when I added more to Giphy they didn’t update on Instagram. How do you add more? Do you have to get approved again?
Hi Holly, I’ve noticed that it often takes a few days for the gifs to move over to Instagram. They should show up in a couple of days though! You don’t have to get re-approved. That only happens once. Liz
that's the first time ive heard tha, i dont where she got that info, because i heard other say they got pointers on what to fix so they can get ir right,
Does your instagram profile have to look like you are an illustrator only ? I’m a commercial photographer and fine artist but wanted to add some of my own illustrations and gifs to my stories etc. Should I start putting some of my motion graphics on posts ?
this so the most helpful video EVER! THANK YOU!! i do have a question! do i need to apply as a designer to have my GIF approved? or can i just upload it?
Oh boy I just shut my Instagram down I was hoping to use this on Tik-Tok or UA-cam. You need to do this on your tablet? I am very new at this but would love to learn
Hey thank you for the tips. I loved your videos and your art!!! So talented!! My Giphy account has been approved as a Brand account which is awesome! But I noticed that some of my stickers uploaded at my Giphy account haven’t appeared on Instagram Gif list once I type my brand’s name. It only shows a few of them... Did this already happened to you too? Any tips on how I can solve this?
Hi I uploaded about 6-7 gifs and all with same hashtags and it shows on my giphy account so now it’s like done? I’ve to wait for approval? Because it didn’t notify me about Instagram or anything?
Thank you for this as I believe after seeing you all video and reading all comments but Some questions I want to ask is what is app and that website name ? I don’t have any website so what I put in url ? Hopefully u reply 😇
Hi, i liked your video, eat tips, but i was wondering were did you et the info about only getting one shot to get artist verified, i didn't see that in the website info and i haven't found that also i heard other say sometimes you get some basic feedback for you to fixed if you don't get verified
Hi Liz, I am a social media manager that's managing a few brand accounts and some of my clients have expressed the desire to have campaign gifs on Instagram. I am trying to create an Artist (for myself) and Brand account (for my company) as a test so that I can advise my clients better however, you mentioned about making sure IG profiles look professional. If I create a new IG acc and upload as many original artwork as possible but don't really have followings and engagement would that pass the approval?
Sorry, but I don’t know what their policy is on approving accounts since they don’t make that info public. I think all you can do is apply and see what happens!
Hello, you can create the sticker! But as for it appearing in the search, GIPHY has a whole support page that'll hopefully answer that for you: support.giphy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360020233051-Get-Your-GIFs-Stickers-Into-GIPHY-s-Search-
excuse me, I've done it all.I've been approved by Giphy as an artist. but I don't get that blue tick. So, I can't search my gif on Instagram either. What's wrong? Can you help me? Thank you

When I export from Procreate with the same "animated gif" settings, it gets saved as a gif image so when uploaded to Giphy- it's a still image instead of the moving animation as it is drawn/ in the export area. Anyone have the same problem or any solutions?!?!
Hi Bella, GIF is the correct file type so I’m not sure what could be going wrong. I think I would need to see your process to know what is going wrong! You could email a screen recording to help@lizkohlerbrown.com and we may be able to help! Liz
@@LizKohlerBrown Thank you for such a thoughtful response but I did figure out the culprit! The design was made to be like a neon sign which meant a more transparent edge which some part of giphy did not like! uploaded the other designs and it was totally fine :)
Wow! Thanks for the insight. I guess I will pay a professional to put my gifs up on Giphy, rather than go all this length to not get verified in the end 😄
can you please help me with something? i didn't understand what do i have to write on ( sours ) as you said, can you please explain more? and thank you

Hello! I’ve made a few gifs and they’re all working just fine but I recently made one and for some reason when I post my story, the gif warps and looks stretched. What can I do to prevent this?
Hi Selene, I think to answer that I would need to see the gif itself and know your file specs. You could contact me through my site and send me details and I would be happy to take a look! lizkohlerbrown.com/
I have a very strange problem - I have uploaded 5 gifs to my account, you can see them, but when I click on the "info" button, it shows that there is only one gif on the account. what is the problem?
Hmm I'm not sure! Sometimes it can take some time for new gifs to show up. If it continues though you could reach out to Giphy and they may be able to help! ~Liz
Hey there, thank you very much for sharing this with us. I still have one question. Do I have to be veryfied to get my gifs into Instagram? Because I uplodet some of my gifs, but nothing happens... Can you please help me? Snowy greetings

Yes unfortunately organizations are typically not eligible for this, only artists/designers as far as I know. You can still create a gif and put it in your story, but you cannot upload stickers using that account.
hi, I was exactly done like you did . but when I upload it , the screen that show how our gif look like , it was blank and it doesn't show my gif. Can I know how to fix it please.
Hey! This video is sooo sweet and helpful! I am new to youtube(as a youtuber ofcourse) and I am not sure about how professional my IG profile looks like. Any suggestions or constructive criticism would be helpful!

I could not be able to sign up in this app whenever I signed up they said create a strong password whenever I get strong password they said there something went wrong and try again later how to sign up
Hi Daisy, It took a few days, but who knows how long it will take with everything going on right now! You should hear back within a few weeks is my guess. ~Liz
It sounds like your gift may be too small or you’re using it at a size that’s too large. You can find full details on giphy.com there is a link to the page on my blog post: www.lizkohlerbrown.com/how-to-get-your-gifs-into-instagram-stories-sticker-search/

You don’t get paid or have your name featured when someone uses your GIF, so it’s really just a way to engage with your audience and share your work with the world.
Hi Kymmie, Giphy doesn't publish their expectations, so it's really a guessing game. I would say lots of cohesive artwork, a good number of followers (500-1000 ish?). I think the artwork is most important though since what they really want to know is whether or not you'll put bad art on their platform!
Thank you! Unfortunately, You don’t get paid or have your name featured when someone uses your GIF, so it’s really just a way to engage with your audience and share your work with the world. Hope that helps!

So glad to hear that this helped you!
And is GIPHY the only platform or way to have your GIF's searchable in Instagram?
Yes it is!
If I don’t have an artist account can I still upload gifs or do I have to be approved?
Hi, do you save your gif with a white background or a transparent background? Or if we have a white background, does giphy removes it automatically?
Giphy recommends a transparent background and they do not remove it automatically!

So if my Instagram don't looks professional, i can't find my GIFs on Instagram?
