[Graphics Interchange Format](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GIF) better known as GIF was developed by a team at the bulletin board service (BBS) provider CompuServe led by American computer scientist Steve Wilhite on June 15, 1987. Since then GIFs combined with social media has become an everyday experience for all of us, from the amazing and fun [nyan cat](https://www.nyan.cat/) to memes taking over the social media and how people express themselves online :) Animated GIFs are great to use in surveys when you want to have more informative images, engaging content, or if you just want to show a process with one animated image instead of ten static images. However, one of the greatest user-cases for animated GIFs in surveys is for designers who want to [get feedback](https://www.surveylegend.com/research/get-feedback/) on a variety of interaction flows, animated logo designs, or other animated elements. That’s why we at SurveyLegend now have launched a feature which empowers you as the survey creator to upload GIF images in your questionnaires. This will also your content even more engaging and fun to respond to. Good to know is that having engaging material will increase finish rate of your surveys, forms or polls. ## Adding animated GIFs to your surveys With SurveyLegend you can add animated GIFs to surveys, forms or polls and make them even more fun to complete.
