The Wacky World of Pinterest and Tumblr: A GIF-tastrophe
So you’re stuck in that awkward situation, *desperately trying to add Pinterest photos to your Tumblr* and for some reason, the universe has decided to rain on your parade. We get it. It’s frustrating when tech doesn’t cooperate, and Pinterest seems to have turned your high-res images into blurry previews faster than you can say “GIF.”
Let’s break this down, shall we? Pinterest has gone through some serious transitions lately, particularly with their support for GIFs. Spoiler alert, they decided to ditch the whole uploading GIFs notion—say what?! You might have noticed that even when you download existing GIFs, they magically morph into JPEGs. Talk about a buzzkill, right? No more animated fun for you!
But wait! There is hope, my friend. You can still work around this craziness. Here’s a nifty little solution to get your animated goodness onto Pinterest:
- Create your fabulous GIF on Giphy. There are tutorials everywhere for this!
- Copy that shiny link.
- Time to hop over to Pinterest.
- This is where it gets tricky, especially for you desktop devotees: go mobile. Seriously, the desktop version seems to spontaneously combust right when you need it most!
- Click on the + Create a Pin button and then select that cute little globe icon next to the camera icon.
- Paste your Giphy link and save it to your board.
- You’re done! Now kick back, relax, and enjoy the peculiar little world of GIFs on Pinterest.
Here’s the catch, however: you can’t title your newly created pin since it came straight from Giphy. Kind of a bummer, but hey, at least it’s animated and labeled correctly!
