Frequently asked questions
How do I send the birthday GIF in a message?
Save the GIF first. On iPhone, check your browser’s downloads or the Files app. On Android, open Downloads. Attach the saved file in your messaging app or use the device’s Share menu. Whether it plays as an animation depends on the app and how you send it.
How long can the name and message be?
The name can be up to 24 visible characters, and the wish can be up to 48. Accents, Chinese characters and emoji depend on the fonts on your device. Check the preview before you save.
What size is the finished birthday GIF?
The editor saves a square 384 × 384 animated GIF. The name and wish are part of the image, so they stay in place when you send the file.
Do I need an account to make a birthday GIF?
You can create and download the card for free without an account. The editor draws the card on your device and keeps the name and wish in your browser.
