How to Send Gifs in Slack

Use this interactive demo to learn how to send a Giphy GIF directly in a Slack message.

Quick summary

The Giphy integration in Slack lets you search and share animated GIFs in any conversation using a simple slash command. In just a few steps, you can find the perfect GIF, shuffle results until satisfied, and send it instantly to your Slack channel or DM.


Steps

  1. Open a Slack chat and type the /giphy command in the chatbox, then choose "Find and share a gif" from the options list.
  2. Describe your GIF using a keyword or phrase, then click the Search button to retrieve matching results.
  3. If the results don't match what you need, click the Shuffle option to generate more GIF options until you find the right one.
  4. Once you've selected your GIF, confirm and send it — your GIF is delivered instantly in the Slack conversation.

📌 Why this matters

Sending GIFs in Slack through the Giphy integration makes team communication more expressive, engaging, and human — without leaving the platform. The built-in /giphy slash command lets users search, preview, and share animated GIFs in seconds, reducing friction and boosting team morale in remote and hybrid work environments. For organizations already using Slack as their primary messaging tool, the Giphy integration is a zero-setup way to add personality and context to everyday conversations. It's a simple feature that meaningfully improves the day-to-day Slack experience for teams of any size.
