So you are wondering if Pinterest supports GIFs, right?

The answer is YES, in a way.

Pinterest used to support uploading GIFs directly, but that seems to have changed at some point in 2021.

Here is a post from Reddit, with a user confirming that Pinterest support told them that GIFs are no longer supported on Pinterest:

If you try to upload a GIF to [Pinterest](https://blog.oneupapp.io/schedule-pinterest-pins-free/), it seems like it will let you, but instead it will just be uploaded as a static image, rather than a GIF.

### However, here is how you can upload GIFs to Pinterest

Using the social media scheduling tool [OneUp](https://www.oneupapp.io/?utm_source=Does-pinterest-support-GIFs&utm_medium=blog), you can still schedule Pinterest pins with a GIF and it will actually post WITH the GIF 🤓

[OneUp](https://www.oneupapp.io/?utm_source=Does-pinterest-support-GIFs&utm_medium=blog) supports Pin Titles, Descriptions, and Destination Links.
