Adding Gif to Product Page

[MindRevolution]

Hi Guys , i think i've cheched all the previous threads but i didn't find a solution for this issue:

i want to add a gif to my product page without making it redirect to giphy or to other sites. I tried to upload it in shopify settings section called Files,  but it says "The uploaded image is corrupt and cannot be processed."

Could you help me please?

Hi @MindRevolution 

I think this video might be helpful https://youtu.be/8sgtEkNvw3M?t=550 (start from 9:10)

Basically, if you have a gif file on your computer, just go to your theme > Customize, choose your Product page and file somewhere you can upload the gif, just like in the video.

In case your gif is corrupted, you might try this tool https://ezgif.com/repair

I, personally, use this tool very often for my gif.

Hope that helps ;)

Repair will add a lot of weight to the file. Try hosting your GIFS on a cloud service and use URL field to add the gif.

Hi,

I found a fix to the file being too big, also saves you having to resize and lose all your quality! Use the website above (https://ezgif.com/)

Just simply convert the gif to MP4 video then BACK to a GIF and it'll uncorrupt the file AND not be a humongous file size!

Hope this works

I have spent approximately 30-40 hours over the past week trying to figure out a way to upload a video to my slider on the home page and product pages. 

Luckily I came across your suggestion your article in Shopify's Community Discussion.  

Uploading MP4 files into ezgif.com worked great!  

I was very close to giving up on using video.

THANK YOU!

PS. What I don't understand is how does ezgif.com makes money off this site.
