Gifer, an alternative to Giphy to find lots of animated GIFs

Article updated on January 5, 2025 by Byothe

GIFs have invaded all social networks! Much more fun than an emoji, these animated images also allow you to get a message across, often in a joking tone. For several years, many platforms have emerged to host and classify tons of GIFs… the most famous of them being without a doubt Giphy and its impressive catalog!

But there are alternatives, including a new one called gifer and which looks a lot (a lot, a lot) like Giphy to the point of using the same colors in its logo and a very similar presentation of the site, on a black background.

But whatever, what interests us is having access to a new tool and lots of animated GIFs of all kinds to enhance our social exchanges!

Organized by categories and emotions, you will be able to easily find the GIF that suits your mood of the moment by rummaging through the different pages of the site. But if you want to be more efficient, there is also an integrated search engine in which you will be able to indicate the keywords that interest you.

As is often the case, the majority of GIFs containing text are in English, but there are also a few GIFs in French.

Once you have found what you are looking for, you can add the GIF to your favorites (by creating a free account on Gifer), download the GIF, copy the link, integrate it into a site or share it directly on the most common social networks (Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, etc.).

In short, you will have understood, nothing really new compared to Giphy, but a good alternative allowing you to find the rare nugget that you are looking for everywhere!
