There are things that words cannot express. In these times in which social networks are the daily bread we have found other options to express moods or feelings, among which emojis and animated GIFs stand out..
A GIF or Graphics Interchange Format is a digital image format used to create short animations that run in a loop. These images in loop motion have become especially popular on many platforms such as WhatsApp , Instagram , Facebook or Telegram and this trend does not seem to stop growing at least for a while.
