# How to Add A GIF to the Canvas

There are two ways that you can add a GIF to the canvas of your project. 

**Note:** Slideshows don't work (auto render for the GIF)

### Drag and Drop Method

1\. Find the GIF in your image manager by going to the My Images tab on the left hand side. 

2\. Select the image and while still clicking on the image pull it to the part of the canvas where you would like it to be placed.

### Select the GIF

1\. Find the GIF in your image manager by going to the My Images tab on the left-hand side. 

2\. Double-click on your mouse or trackpad when hovering over the GIF. This will have the GIF populate in the center of your document. 

3\. From here you can move the image to the spot on the canvas where you would like it to rest.
