The GIF GIF GIF Blog

A GIF is more than just a moving image with no sound (sorry Adam, still working on this) - it’s an emotion, a reaction, and a declaration of - well anything you want. 

GIFs are the perfect two-birds-one-stone to simultaneously express yourself and your superior pop-culture knowledge or sense of humor. The perfect GIF is kind of like seeing a sunrise or your first In-N-Out burger: you can’t really describe it in words, it’s just good.

Since launching GIF GIF GIF, our users have searched and favorited millions of GIFs with us. And while we know every GIF is special in its own way (like the Kardashians) - there are some that definitely rise to the top (…also kind of like the Kardashians, I guess). We decided to take a look at what your favorite GIF hashtags are, and maybe shine a light on the human range of GIF-motions.

10) YES

When a word isn’t enough. Even the simplest of words. If you’re accepting or acknowledging the rightness of something, why not add a GIF for a little extra excitement.

9) Oh Snap

Kevin just told Sarah off, but Sarah ROASTED Kevin right back. So Kevin retaliated by bringing up a secret about Sarah that only he knew, and now Sarah is pissed. At this point, you have no choice but to interject with an “Oh Snap” GIF.

8) Facepalm

Since the sarcasm font has yet to be invented, and emojis still don’t express your shame properly, the facepalm GIF is a good solution. These shame-filled gems are always fun, whether it be for yourself or for your friends idiotic replies.

7) Eye Roll

Very similar to the facepalm, the eye roll is exclusively reserved for the judgment of others - giving it the slight bump in our rankings. These GIFs are for when “you can’t even,” and need to express your distaste for a decision.

6) Happy Dance

This GIF does the job that exclamation points and all-caps can’t accomplish on their own. These GIFs are reserved for moments of utmost joy and excitement. When only the ridiculous physical movement of others can suffice.

5) Kiss

Ah the sweet smell of GIF romance. The kiss-face emoji is a classic, but even the classics need to be revamped once in a while. Either way, the kiss GIF is an easy way into bae’s heart and out of the dreaded friend zone.  

4) Crying

In case you didn’t pack a lunch for the feels trip, our crying GIFs can communicate the proper feels. Best part is that you don’t even have to cry IRL, kind of how “LOL” made it so you don’t even have to laugh in real life. We’re changing the world people.

3) Excited

The anticipation is too much. You’ve sent so many tweets and texts in all caps that your friends are mistaking you for P. Diddy or The Kid Mero. The excitement can now only be expressed in GIF form. It’s more entertaining, and less straining on your caps lock.

2) LOL

The Marlon Brando of internet language. All must bow to the Godfather of digital acronyms. While “LOL” may have lost some luster after a solid two decades of overuse, GIFs are helping to bring it back in the most semi-serious way.

1)Middle Finger

It only makes sense that this would be number one right? There’s no emoji for it, the actual words are too harsh, and there’s too many amazing examples of it in every context imaginable. It can be shaken off or laughed at while still maintaining its original intent. The bird is a special GIF alright, so special that it takes our overall #1 spot! We just wish you guys all weren’t so angry. 

Editor’s Note: We’ll be continuing to look at your favorite GIFs on here in the coming weeks, so get pumped! We’ll be breaking lists up by city, interests and even more to share the best GIFs and GIF hashtags from the app!

Today is an awesome day for our users and the must-have-the-latest-and-greatest-tech fans around the internet. This is because today we’ve released a new version of GIF GIF GIF, officially called version 2.1. Our update has a few major components: the big one being Apple Watch compatibility!

Yes, this is real life. You’re not dreaming (but if you are, thanks for letting our blog into your subconscious). Our Apple Watch app makes the best parts of GIF GIF GIF even easier. Not only can you search and favorite GIFs right from your spanking new Apple Watch, but you can even set an official Watch GIF to be seen at a glance. We’re pumped to see what you think of the app when the Watch is available on April 24th. GIF GIF GIF will be there from day one for all of your GIF-tastic needs.

The watch update is awesome, but you should seriously download the new version ASAP because you’ll also find…

• Keyboard Fix: We heard your cries and fixed a ton of bugs with our GIF keyboard. Thank you for the patience!
• Clear Search History: We get it, your One Direction fandom is a guilty pleasure. Make sure family and friends don’t catch you red-handed looking for Zayn GIFs.
• Added Swipe-To-Delete in Search History: Seriously, we’re helping you cover your guilty GIF tracks. If you get caught after this, it’s on you. 

What are you waiting for? Go download the app! Stay tuned, we have even more fun updates on the way very soon.

Welcome to the GIF GIF GIF blog! 

For those of you already using our app, you’re great. For those of you who don’t have it yet - well come on bud, go download it now!  

The GIF GIF GIF team is pumped to be launching this blog as a place where we can share all the stories, updates, and weirdness that goes along with the GIF GIF GIF app. 

I really wasn’t kidding about the weirdness.

GIF GIF GIF was a simple goal. We wanted to build an app where every great GIF was waiting for you to discover and share. A reaction, an emotion, your favorite celebrity, or athlete - all in their “GIF-tastic” glory. 

After seeing how people were using the first version of GIF GIF GIF, we quickly realized that users wanted a faster way to share the GIFs they were finding. We then built the GIF GIF GIF Keyboard, as a natural way for users to share GIFs from their keyboard that they were finding in our app.

The point is, we’ve been so focused on building a great app, that we haven’t had much time to share our story. So far, we’ve received loads of amazing feedback and comments from our users. We’ve been listening, and we’re excited to be rolling out some new updates to the app very soon. 

This isn’t going to be your typical mobile app blog with the usual “new updates” posts. We’ll be putting together fun lists of our Top GIFs and sharing some of the weirder ones we come across. Basically, we want a place where our users can come get weird with us. 

So do yourself a favor and click that follow button up top (follow us on Twitter too) and get ready for some weird, in the best way possible.
