GIFs and Discord: A Guide to Customizing Your Profile

Using Animated GIFs on Discord

Discord allows users to add GIFs as their profile pictures, adding a touch of personality and expression. To do this, you can either upload your own GIF or select from a library of popular GIFs on Tenor or GIPHY.

Finding Anime-Themed GIFs

Tenor

Tenor offers a vast collection of anime-themed GIFs. To find them, visit the Tenor website or use the GIF Keyboard extension for Chrome or Firefox.

GIPHY

GIPHY also has a large selection of anime GIFs. You can search for them by keyword or explore popular tags like "anime" and "kawaii."

Removing Backgrounds from GIFs

If you want to use a GIF with a transparent background, you can use tools like remove.bg or Pixlr to erase the unwanted parts. This allows you to create custom icons that blend seamlessly with your profile background.

Using GIFs as Profile Banners

Discord also supports animated profile banners. You can find ready-made anime banners on sites like Pfpsgg or create your own using tools like Canva or Photoshop.

Icons for Multiple Platforms

The icons you create can be used not only on Discord but also on other platforms like Tiktok, Instagram, and Steam. This helps maintain a consistent and recognizable profile across multiple channels.
