Product GIFs for Klaviyo
Add animated product GIFs to your Klaviyo flows and campaigns — free, in seconds, under 1MB.
Klaviyo is where a lot of ecommerce revenue is won, and animation is one of the easiest ways to make a flow or campaign stand out. StoreGIF turns your product photos into inbox-safe GIFs you can drop into any Klaviyo image block — no design work, no account.
A GIF is the only animated format that plays across virtually every inbox, and Klaviyo treats it exactly like a normal image: upload it into an image block and it stays animated. That makes GIFs a simple upgrade for welcome flows, abandoned-cart emails, back-in-stock alerts and product launches — motion where you previously had a static hero image.
The one thing to watch is file size. Keep your GIF under about 1MB so it loads quickly on mobile and doesn’t get clipped. StoreGIF’s “smaller file” quality preset and live size readout make that easy, and the first frame is designed to stand on its own for the minority of clients (like Outlook on Windows) that show only frame one.
Because a GIF is reusable, one good product animation can power an entire flow — the same file works in your welcome series, your cart reminders and your next campaign, saving you from rebuilding creative each time.
How it works
- 1Make an email-ready GIF
Paste a store URL, product link, or upload photos, then choose the “Smaller file” quality preset to stay under 1MB.
- 2Upload it in Klaviyo
In your flow or campaign, drag in an image block and upload the .gif — Klaviyo keeps it animated.
- 3Link & send
Point the image at your product or collection URL, add alt text, and send.
A StoreGIF export is a standard .gif — no special integration, just an image block.
The quality preset keeps files small so they load fast and don’t get clipped.
Animated product shots draw the eye and lift clicks over static images.
Tips for Klaviyo GIFs
- Use the “Smaller file” preset to stay under ~1MB so flows load fast on mobile.
- Make the first frame complete for Outlook-on-Windows recipients.
- Link the GIF to the product or collection it features.
- Reuse one GIF across a flow — welcome, cart and browse-abandon — to save time.
- Add alt text in the image block as a fallback for blocked images.
FAQ
How do I add a GIF to a Klaviyo email?
Drag an image block into your campaign or flow, upload the .gif, and link it to your product. Klaviyo preserves the animation automatically.
Will the GIF animate for everyone?
In almost all clients, yes. Outlook on Windows shows only the first frame, so make frame one a complete shot of the product.
What size should it be?
Aim for under ~1MB and around 600px wide. Use the “Smaller file” preset and 2–3 images.
Can I use one GIF in a flow and a campaign?
Yes — upload it into an image block in either. The same .gif works across flows and one-off campaigns.
Does Klaviyo compress my GIF?
Klaviyo hosts the image you upload as-is, so keep it small before uploading using the “Smaller file” preset.
Is StoreGIF a Klaviyo app?
No — it’s a free web tool that produces a .gif file you upload to Klaviyo like any image. Nothing to install.
