2 Ways to Post GIFs in Discord on PC or Mac

• If you're using the desktop application for Mac and Windows, click the "Upload" icon in the channel and select your GIF.
• If you're using the web application for computers, copy a GIF, then paste it into the chat field in the channel.
• You can also upload a file using the web application the same way you would if you were using the desktop application.

Uploading a GIF from Your Computer

Open Discord on your computer. You can use Discord's desktop app, or go to www.discordapp.com in your browser. If you're not automatically signed into Discord on your device, click the Login button in the upper-right corner, and log in with your account credentials.

Click a server on the left panel. This will open a list of all the text and voice chat channels on this server. If you want to send a GIF in a direct message, click the figurehead icon in the upper-left corner of your screen. It will open a list of all your direct message conversations.

Click a chat under TEXT CHANNELS. On the left navigation panel, find the chat you want to post a GIF to, and click on it to open the conversation.

Click the file upload button. It looks like an upward arrow inside a square next to the message field at the bottom of your screen. This will open your file explorer in a pop-up window. You can also drag and drop a GIF file from your computer without using the upload button. To do this, open the folder where your GIF is stored, and drag the file to your Discord chat window.

Click the Upload button. It's a white button in the lower-right corner of the pop-up window. This will send your GIF to the chat.
