Can't copy/paste gifs from Giphy to Outlook anymore?
I was unsure whether to post this to r/outlook, to r/gif, or some other relevant sub, but I'll start here. I'm on macOS 26.3.1. All apps involved/mentioned are updated to their latest versions.
Up until not that long ago (feels like that, at least), I was able to copy/paste gifs from Giphy.com by simple right-clicking, choosing "Copy Image", and then paste directly into the email I was composing in Outlook.
Now, it does paste the image, but not as a gif animation, but as a the static poster-image. This is the case both in from Firefox (my primary browser) and Chrome (secondary).
In Safari (which I never use) it pastes a working animation, but that animation is used, and mostly resists scaling down. Tl;dr – not an option.
Practically, my current solution is to drag-and-drop the gif from Giphy.com to my Desktop (dragging directly into the email won't work, for some reason), and from there I can drag it into the email, ending up with an actually animated gif.
Any tips? Either for getting copy/paste from Firefox or Chrome to work again, or any other viable solution to easily and realiably paste gifs into Outlook emails?
Thanks! 🙂
