I'm really curious about the process behind GIFs. Who creates them, and how exactly are they made? Is there a central collection of GIFs somewhere, and how do people access them across different devices like iPhones, Androids, PCs, and Macs? Any insights on how GIFs work would be great. Thanks!

GIFs are usually created by people using various software tools. Once made, they upload them to platforms like Giphy or Tenor, where they can tag them for easy searching. Different devices and messaging apps connect to these platforms to access a vast library of GIFs. Giphy is the biggest player, so most creators prefer to use it for uploading their work.
