Who a custom welcome GIF is for

One GIF with the right name on it beats a generic one from a library.

  • A new teammate

    Pick Team cheer, type "Welcome to the team, Jordan!" and post it in the team thread on their first morning. Cartoon coworkers clap and cheer in an office, so it reads as friendly rather than formal.

  • Someone coming back

    Back from leave or a long trip? Type a welcome back message and the GIF says it for you. Pick the banner scene for confetti, or add a photo of the person so they are in it. A welcome GIF with their name on it lands better than a stock one.

  • A new community member

    Greet a new member of a club, class or chat group with a banner that carries their name. The banner unrolls while confetti and balloons pop up around it.

  • A guest or a new neighbor

    Open door shows a front door swinging open to warm light and a doormat, with balloons floating out. It fits a visitor, a new neighbor or a housewarming.

  • A new family member or pet

    Attach a photo of a baby, a couple or a pet and they become the main character of the scene. Ask for a color or a puppy in Anything to add.

  • A newsletter or email header

    Choose 16:9 for a wide banner or 9:16 for a tall, story-shaped greeting. 1:1 stays the default for chats. A welcome GIF in banner shape suits a header or a post.

How to make a welcome GIF

Three choices, then one click.

  1. 1

    Pick a scene and a shape

    Choose Welcome banner, Team cheer or Open door, then 1:1, 16:9 or 9:16. The banner is preselected, so you can skip this step.

  2. 2

    Add a name or message

    Type up to 60 characters in Your message, such as a name. Leave it empty to keep the default "Welcome!" Add a photo of a person or pet if you want them in the scene, and use Anything to add for colors or small extras.

  3. 3

    Generate and download

    Press Generate GIF. It usually takes about 20 to 30 seconds in our tests. Check the spelling, then download the looping .gif file and send it. Your first welcome GIF is free, so make the choices count: after the result the next step is Download.

What is free and what happens to your photo

  • Your first GIF is free

    Every visitor gets one with no sign-up and no email, across the whole site rather than per page. The welcome GIF has no watermark.

  • Your photo

    Your prompt and photo are only used to create your GIF and are never used to train AI models. Adding a photo is optional.

  • Made for you, not picked from a library

    This page does not offer ready-made GIFs to browse. Every welcome GIF is generated from your scene, message and photo. Your welcome GIF can carry the name and message you choose.

  • AI output, so check it

    The GIF is AI-made. Read the text and compare the person or pet with your photo before you send it. If the text or the face is off, the result is not worth sending, so check it first.
