Showcasing UI Interaction Design with Animated GIFs

Friday, October 6, 2017

The humble animated GIF has become a popular tool for designers to share their UI designs. How a web or app interface works is just as important as how it looks, and the animated GIF—while it lacks refinement and quality—is the most accessible file format that can be easily viewed directly in the browser, making it perfect for sharing on social sites such as Dribbble.

In today’s post, we showcase 20+ examples of how designers use animated GIFs to present the interactions and gestures in their UI designs.
