Hello GIF
Make your own Hello GIF: pick a scene, add a name or message, and get a looping animated GIF to send. Your first one is free.
Example result. Upload your photo to make yours.
Examples
Hello GIF: yours, not a library pick
This page makes your hello GIF for you instead of showing a grid of ready-made ones. Pick a scene, type a name or a short line, and the tool draws a looping animated GIF around it.
There are three scenes: a waving character, a waving puppy and bouncy letters. A photo is optional: add a person, a couple or a pet and they become the main character of the scene.
The result plays right on the page. Download it as a real .gif file and send it anywhere that accepts GIFs. Your prompt and photo are only used to create your GIF and are never used to train AI models.

Where a custom hello GIF works
A greeting that carries the name of the person reading it.
A new job or team
Greet the team on your first day with a hello GIF that has your own name on it. Add a photo of yourself to be the one waving, so colleagues put a face to the name before you have met.
Group chats
Join a family or friends chat with a hello GIF made for that group. Write the group's name or an inside joke in the message line, and the whole chat sees it in the loop.
Community servers
Welcome a new member of your Discord or forum with a GIF that says their name. Use the square format for posts and avatars, and the portrait one for stories.
Customer messages
Open an email or support reply with a friendly wave and a short line such as the customer's first name. Keep the text short so it stays readable at the size most inboxes show.
Faraway friends
Say hi to someone in another time zone with a GIF that has their name on it. Choose portrait for a story or square for a chat.
Pets saying hi
Upload a photo of your dog or cat and let it be the one that waves. The waving puppy scene also works with no photo at all.
Before you make your hello GIF
- Choose the scene first: waving character for a general hello, waving puppy for something softer, bouncy letters when the words matter most.
- Keep the message under 60 characters. A first name or one short line such as Hi Emma! fits best.
- Use a photo of one clear subject, facing the camera, in JPG, PNG or WebP up to 10 MB. Skip it if you want the cartoon look.
- Pick the shape for where it will go: 1:1 for chats and posts, 16:9 for banners and slides, 9:16 for stories.
- Use the extra note for small changes, such as pink and gold colors or adding a puppy.
- Your first GIF is free (one per visitor), so settle the scene and the words before you press Generate.
- Read the GIF through once. It is AI output, so check that the name is spelled the way you typed it before you send it.
- Decide who the GIF is for before you start. A hello GIF with one person's name reads warmer than a general wave, and a short message keeps the letters large.
