There is a Pro version of the plan which offers yous features that Imgur/TinyPic don't such every bit allowing for 60 seconds GIF captures while sites such as Imgur & GIPHY but allow for 15-twenty 2d GIFs bluring out, Boxing, Arrows, Text but it Does Not offer the pick to Ingather or resize your photos and these features are for Images only they don't piece of work on Gifs.

Will add Tutorial for Gyazo equally soon as I am back on PC

DO NOT USE PHOTOBUCKET AS THEY ARE NO LONGER A FREE SITE THEY CHARGE TO KEEP YOUR PHOTOS ON SITE

Alarm: Just adding .jpg/.png to the finish of a photo URL will not make it work

Posting pictures is very simple and easy to exercise just follow the steps beneath and you'll have no problem attaching pictures to your thread/postal service

Just a word of advice do non use whatever temporary photo hosting sites unless you don't intendance if your photo
are deleted after then many hours as they do not go along your photos on their servers for more than a few hours then if you wish to keep your photos visible for everybody make sure you lot apply a photo hosting site.

Method # i

This method is by far the quickest and easiest to practise

This method is the most veritable as it tin ofttimes be used just about everywhere including from websites without needing to upload the image to an paradigm hosting site as well

Simply find the image you wish to postal service/share so RIGHT CLICK somewhere on the paradigm which volition bring up your windows options such as this....

now yous have ii options to Cull from... Copy Image/Copy Image Address i prefer Copy Epitome as it's uncomplicated a ane-2-3....

1. Right click on movie to bring up options....

2. Cull Copy Prototype/Copy Image Address....

3. Go to wherever yous are wanting to post/share your image and then in the posting box RIGHT CLICK again and click Paste, If you selected Copy Paradigm, the Image the epitome will automatically appear if you lot selected Copy Image Link simply press the Enter Key and information technology'll appear, You can as well use the Insert Paradigm from URL button at the lesser of the posting box but above the Submit Post push, simply Correct CLICK and paste the URL in the box....

then click Insert into post and the paradigm volition announced.

Method #2

This method also works for MacBook users

When posting a motion picture y'all need to make certain that your flick has the following extensions attached to them those extensions beingness .jpg and .png if your film extension doesn't accept either of those at the end of the epitome url then it will just announced equally a link instead of a picture.

Once you've found the picture you wish to attach to your thread/mail service you will demand to upload it to an paradigm hosting site such as Imgur, Gyazo ect (I honestly prefer Gyazo)

Posting Pictures Using the Insert Paradigm From URL Option

(This method is only for already existing URL's if you need to learn how to mail service photos from your phone/computer gyre downward)

This method is by far the easiest if y'all already have an epitome URL and don't need to upload your image anywhere merely copy the image URL making sure it ends in .jpg .png or ,gif so click Insert Image From URL then Copy the URL into the 2d box that appears so click Insert Into Post and if you use the correct image format the image volition announced in your postal service

(This part is for those who desire to mail service their images from their mobiles,tables and computers)

In one case the motion-picture show has been uploaded go to your Contour and and then click on the Prototype in one case you've clicked on the prototype the image will appear with a box on the correct-manus side with a bunch of URLs to choose from you want to copy the Direct Link URL as that one has the extension needed to post the moving-picture show.

After you have Uploaded your photos to an image hosting site and have copied the Direct Link URLs simply come up back here to your thread/postal service and press CTRL+Five or Right Click > Paste and every bit long every bit you have copied the right URL the image will postal service automatically with yous needing to do nothing

Method # iii

This method DOES NOT piece of work for MacBook Users

This method is meant to be used when trying to post an image from a website rather than from photos on your desktop/phone

When attempting to post an image from a website there is really no need to become though the steps of saving the movie, uploading the picture and then copying and pasting the image direct link when y'all tin can simply just Copy & Paste the image itself making it simple quick and easy to do

When yous notice the picture you wish to post in your thread/postal service simply get to the picture show Right Click on the image then select Re-create and then come up dorsum here go to your mail Right Click in any void of the post and Click Paste or CTRL + Five and the image should appear.

If for some reason the image appears as a tiny white box and then information technology means the paradigm doesn't accept the correct image extension to be posted here on the forum in which case you will need to upload it to an epitome hosting site but you may non have to save the image to your desktop in social club to upload it.

Sites such every bit Imgur & Gyazo allow you to just re-create and paste the prototype URL and upload it from there now in club to get the image URL information technology's adequately simple information technology'southward the same process as Method #2 simply instead of clicking Copy you will instead select Copy Image Address/Copy Image Link so go to the Photograph Hosting site click Upload and on Imgur there is a modest box where you will paste the Paradigm Address and it volition auto-upload and on TinyPic you'll select the URL option paste the image address and select upload

Merely if for some reason the images can't be uploaded via that means you will take to revert to Method # 1 past saving the Paradigm to your desktop and following the steps in method #ane.

Posting YouTube Videos

Posting your YouTube videos is simple as 1, ii, 3 actually all that it entails is a few clicks of the mouse and
Volia! your video will announced in your mail service, There are ii methods that you can apply in order to post YouTube Videos

Simply copy the URL in the address bar come back here to your thread/ post-Right Click + Paste or CTRL + V or Command + V for MacBook users and the video volition automatically appear

Just I will warn you this method doesn't always piece of work particularly if trying to post from Mobile it volition give yous the g.youtube mobile link instead of the full URL and it may not work simply if you lot are using a computer or tablet that doesn't give yous the mobile link this method should work just fine just if you lot are on a Mobile device apply the method below every time to ensure the video will postal service correctly.

In one case you lot have found the YouTube video y'all wish to post simply roll down to simply below the video screen to find a "Share" push button click on the Share button and a small window with a link will announced

Once this window appears simply click on the Re-create push button and information technology will automatically copy the URL for you once you lot accept done that just come back here to your thread/postal service and Correct Click + Paste or CTRL + Five and the video volition automatically appear.

Posting GIFs

FOR MACBOOK USERS Y'all CAN Simply USE THE COPY Image ADDRESS METHOD

When it comes to posting GIFs it tin be a little frustrated because not every GIF will piece of work even though it looks like a GIF, Acts like a GIF and fifty-fifty Smells similar a GIF it doesn't mean it'due south a GIF though it could actually be an .mp4 which the site doesn't support in order to postal service a GIF on here you need to make sure that it has the .gif extension on it just similar when posting a film you demand to accept the .jpg/ ,png simply if it doesn't it's a simple fix just like with images which I volition testify you how to practise below.

But outset, permit usa start out by how to post a GIF that already has the correct .gif extension attached to information technology.

When yous observe a GIF you want to post you can practise one of ii things you tin can either Right Click + Copy Image or Right Click + Re-create Image Address/Link and and then come back to the forum and Right Click + Paste or CTRL + V to paste the if the image has the right .gif extension than it volition automatically announced but if the Paste selection is~~greyed out~~ or the image URL ends with .mp4 or doesn't automatically appear in one case the URL is pasted so it doesn't have the correct extension needed and needs to be fixed using the methods posted below.

There is a way to tell if the GIF is a .mp4 rather than a GIF when you Right Click and try and Re-create or select Copy Image merely the merely option you lot have is Re-create Video Accost/Link than that
mea ns the GIF is actually a video and it tin can't be posted on hither simply as I said above if that happens there is a uncomplicated ready for that to turn a .mp4 into a GIF.

Turning .MP4 into GIFs

DO NOT USE IMGUR FOR GIFS AS ALL VIDEOS UPLOADED TO IMGUR ARE CONVERTED INTO. MP4 AUTOMATICALLY NO MATTER HOW SHORT THE VIDEO IS NOW AND SIMPLY Changing .mp4 to .gif NO LONGER WORKS ON Hither

To turn a .mp4 into a GIF is adequately simple and like shooting fish in a barrel to do once y'all've figured out the GIF is, in fact, a .mp4 go to GIPHY.com this site will allow you to turn whatever .mp4 into a .gif which you tin can so turn and mail service on hither.

Reminder: GIFs must exist limited to 20 seconds or less on GIPHY

At that place is another site you tin can employ for GIF www.makeagif.com but the limit is 20 seconds and you lot must make an account in order to employ the 20-second method but the business relationship is free to make and apply.

If you exercise decide to use MakeaGIF.com brand sure that you select the GIF choice in one case your GIF has finished loading as it automatically selects the .mp4 option

If you lot use Gyazo to make your own GIFs there is a fashion to mail service them on GTAForums without needing to upload them to a secondary site simply Right Click on the picture and select Copy Image Link/Accost and go to the accost bar or open notebook and delete mp4 and supercede information technology with gif and and so copy/paste the URL in the address bar or notebook onto your postal service and it will automatically appear Reminder - You MUST edit the url before posting it hither, copying the .mp4 url and then deleting it and replacing it with gif once you've posted it here will not convert it.

Turning an .mp4 plant Online into a .gif

This method involved simply copying the .mp4 link itself and uploading it to GIPHY this method works best if you are just wanting to take a .mp4 y'all found during an image search and desire to turn it into a .gif so you can post it on here.

Locate the .mp4 you are wanting to plow into a .gif Right Click + Copy Image Link/Address once you lot have done that goes to Giphy.com and select Upload and at the bottom of the screen you will see an accost bar this is where y'all will paste the epitome link if information technology will accept the link it will take you to the adjacent screen where you lot will click "Upload" and from there information technology will upload the .mp4 turning it into a .gif

Turning your own clips into a GIF

Save the .mp4 to your desktop and then open Giphy in your browser and one time GIPHY is open select the Upload Choice (Do not employ Create unless you desire to add text or special effects to the GIF) in one case the GIF upload is completed it will tell you via little blue bar click on that bar and information technology will have y'all to your newly uploaded GIF

There are two methods to mail service this GIF on here Right Click On GIF + Re-create or Right Click On GIF + Copy Image Link/Address come back here to the forum click on your thread/post and then Correct Click + Paste or CTRL + V

If you accept whatever suggestions or would like to see something added please experience free to send me a PM and I will try my all-time to comply
