Use this interactive demo to learn how to insert and display GIFs inside a Coda doc.

Quick summary

Adding a GIF to a Coda doc takes just a few clicks using the built-in file embed option. Once uploaded, you can control how the GIF is displayed — inline, as a card, as a title, or as a full embed.

Steps

Click the add icon on your Coda page to open the embed menu.
Click File into a blank line on the page to open the file insertion options.
Select the file option and choose your GIF from your device.
After attaching the file, choose how the GIF is displayed: inline, as a title, in a card, or as an embed.

📌 Why this matters

Coda is an all-in-one doc platform where teams create living documents, wikis, and project trackers. Being able to embed GIFs directly into a Coda doc makes it easier to add visual context, step-by-step animations, or branded content without leaving the workspace. The flexible display options — inline, card, title, or embed — give users precise control over how media appears in their docs. This feature helps teams build more engaging, visually rich documents that communicate ideas faster than text alone.
