Can the viewer zoom in on a frame?

The viewer can zoom and pan while the GIF keeps playing, which helps with small screen recordings. There is no frame by frame stepping, since the browser plays the animation itself.

My GIF is very large. Should I use video instead?

GIFs up to 100 MB work on the free plan. GIF is an old format that compresses motion poorly, so a long recording is often much smaller as an MP4, which we also play in the browser.

Does it work on phones?

Yes. Animated GIFs play in every modern phone and desktop browser, with no app to install and no account for the viewer.

GIF is the looping animation format behind reaction clips, product demos, and quick screen recordings. Many chat apps and email tools turn an animated GIF into a still image or a re encoded video, and the loop or the timing gets lost. Upload your GIF to Link in Seconds and it plays as a real animated GIF in the browser, looping just as you made it. Share one short link and anyone watches it on any device, with no app and no account.

How it works

1
Upload the GIF
Sign in with Google and drop your .gif. Animations up to 100 MB are covered on the free plan, which fits even long screen recordings.
2
It plays in the viewer
We show the GIF in an image viewer where it animates and loops as the file defines, fitted to the screen with zoom and fullscreen.
3
Share the link
Send the short link or QR code. The viewer opens it and the animation starts playing in any browser.

The animation stays animated

We serve the original GIF file, so every frame, the frame timing, and the loop setting stay exactly as you exported them. The recipient sees the moving image, not a frozen first frame or a converted clip.

Show a feature in a few seconds

A short GIF is often the fastest way to show a bug, a UI interaction, or a product feature. Drop the link in a ticket, a pull request, or a client email, and the reader sees the whole thing play without downloading a video file.

Tracked and under your control

Each link records real views so you know the demo was watched. You can turn downloads off on any plan, and on Pro you can add a password, set an expiry date, and remove our branding.

Frequently asked questions

Still stuck? Ask us directly — a real person answers.

Yes. We display the original file in the browser, so it animates and loops exactly as it was created. We do not convert it to a video or a still image.
