Before, emojis ruled the world, now GIFs and memes have taken over them. GIFs are fun because the conversation will be enhanced if you add a GIF to it. And they deserve credit because GIFs express our emotions so much better.
Similar to other social networking sites and chat apps, even Pinterest supports GIFs. Pinterest is an image discovery site where you find home decor ideas, recipes, style inspiration, DIY projects, etc.
Adding a GIF on Pinterest gives more information than a static image. You can create GIFs for your DIY projects or display all sides of the cushion with GIFs, which can be done by adding multiple photos.
But what if you like a GIF on Pinterest? How do you download it? That is what we will show you here. In this post, we will tell you how to download GIFs from Pinterest on your PC and mobile.

Emoji vs GIF
The problem with emojis is that they are confusing. The same emoji can mean many different things to different people. For instance, adding a tongue emoji at the end of a text completely changes its meaning. Emojis are so damaging that they are now appearing in lawsuits due to the difference in meaning perceived by senders and recipients.
Thankfully, GIFs don’t have such dangerous effects because they only convey a single meaning. Long live GIFs.
