Overview

The animated sharing previews of your storybooks are files generated automatically after you submit your storybooks, and stays up to date as your update your storybooks as well!

If you have older projects without any animated sharing preview assets, you can update that project to have it generate the animated sharing assets for you to use.

GIF files are animated images, like the one seen below, that allow you to add motion to your marketing places that may not take video files.

Adding the Hyperlinked GIF Share Image is done by following the instructions under Option 2 in the Share and Embed page for the specific project you're looking to share:

Social Media (Requires Downloading Animated Sharing Assets):

When posting a storybook to social media, you'll see our static preview image appear by default. Before posting, you'll be able to add the GIF image to the post, and in some cases, replace the static preview image as well. Platforms such as Facebook or LinkedIn can also let you edit the post after to add in a GIF Image as well.

Place on Personal Website (Requires Downloading Animated Sharing Assets):

Simply add the GIF file to your website the way you would normally add in any images, and if your website editor allows for it, consider hyperlinking the image to the storybook itself, or placing a link to the storybook underneath the GIF, or both!

(All Options Require Downloading Animated Sharing Assets)
