How to Make a Gif Your Google Background on Mac

How to Make a Gif Your Google Background on Mac?

Your computer wallpaper is the first choice when it comes to personalizing your Mac. You can select any image as a background, so you can use any wallpaper you want.

While most people choose to use a photo as their computer wallpaper, you can also use an animated GIF file. You can make your own animated GIF or choose one from a wide selection of free animated GIF images online.

If you want to use a GIF as your computer wallpaper, you can do that, but you’ll have to follow a few different steps than when setting a normal image as your computer wallpaper.

  1. Access Flexclip.com and Add Video or GIF Assets to the Storyboard
  2. You may upload your video or GIF assets. If you don’t have ideal ones, no worries. Just head to the “Video” or “Photo” tab on the left menu and enter keywords to look for a pleasing video from FlexClip’s stock assets or a funny GIF from GIPHY and then add it to the storyboard.
  3. Select the “Text” or “Elements” tab on the left sidebar, then you can add designer-made animated texts and customize their fonts, color scheme, style, and motions or add decorative elements. Just give full play to your creativity and have fun playing with it.
  4. Once you are happy with the overall effects. Hit the “Export” button on the top right corner and select ‘GIF‘’ and the best quality for a local download.
  5. Find the exported GIF file
  6. and manually rename the “xxx.gif” file as the “xxx.png” file
  7. Open a new tab in the Google Chrome browser
  8. Find the little pencil icon on the right bottom corner and click on it
  9. Select “Background”
  10. Hit “Upload from device”
  11. Upload your PNG image. Then your Google background will be instantly changed to an animated GIF.

How to Make a Gif on Mac Using Quick Time Player?

First, you will have to open QuickTime Player on your Mac computer.

Then, locate and select the GIF file you want to turn into a video clip. You can find GIF files in your Pictures folder or click on the File menu at the top of your computer screen and select Open to navigate to the folder where your GIFs are saved.

Once you select the GIF file, you’ll see a “Create New Video” option on the menu bar at the top of the QuickTime Player program.

  1. Open the QuickTime player and select
  2. “New Screen Recording” from the File dropdown.
  3. Drag the transparent box around the video you want to record or just click to record your entire screen
  4. Click record! Click stop! Save the file.
  5. Open the file in GIF Brewery, which you purchased from the App Store.

Crop and resize the video in GIF Brewery.

Use the yellow and red sliders at the bottom of the window to select the section of the video you want to GIF. The best thing about GIF Brewery is that you can select moments as short as one millisecond.

Add captions and then use the “Manage Overlays” tool to set start and end times for the caption if you don’t want it to appear during the entirety of the GIF.

Use “GIF Properties” to select your Frame Count, add a freeze frame, and choose a looping mode.

The most useful option in GIF Brewery’s GIF Properties is “Reduce the number of colors in GIF.” It’s useful if you don’t want to mess around in Photoshop simplifying colors, and if you’re trying to get a GIF down under Tumblr’s sort of Draconian 2MB limit. While the image won’t be quite as beautiful, it should still look better than most GIFs made with other methods.

Click “Create GIF” and save! You can make a GIF set from the same video by readjusting your sliders and creating again — the settings you chose before will stay locked in until you change them.

How Do You Change the Google Background on A Mac?

To change your Google background on a Mac, you’ll have to use the Google Images website.

You can also click the “Advanced” option to use an animated GIF file as your Google background. Once you click on “Advanced”, you’ll be able to choose any GIF image you’d like.

Click the “Choose image” button and select the GIF file you want to use. Once you select the GIF file, click the “Use as wallpaper” button to save your selection and set the GIF file as your Google background image.
