Notes and Limitations
⚙️ GIF animations only work when shared online.
The GIF will animate when you share your design via a Venngage link.
This is because GIFs require a dynamic environment to play the animation.
📥 Downloaded designs will display GIFs as static images.
If you download your design (as PNG, PDF, or other formats), the GIF will appear frozen on a single frame.
Most downloadable formats don’t support motion graphics, so the animation won’t play offline.
