Slack GIF Creator

Make fun animated GIFs sized just right for Slack.

Part of Anthropic skills

Slack GIF Creator is an official Anthropic skill for making animated GIFs built for Slack — the right size and constraints, with validation and animation concepts baked in. Ask for a GIF of X doing Y and it produces one that drops straight into your workspace.

What it does

  • Creates animated GIFs optimized for Slack’s constraints.
  • Validates size and format so they actually work in Slack.
  • Great for reactions, celebrations, and team fun.

How to install (2 minutes)

  1. 1Download the .zip and unzip it — you’ll get a folder called slack-gif-creator.
  2. 2In the Claude app: open Settings → Capabilities → Skills, choose Add / Upload, and select the folder (or the .zip).
  3. 3In Claude Code: drop the folder into your project’s .claude/skills/ directory, then type /skills to confirm it loaded.
  4. 4That’s it — the skill activates on its own when it fits what you’re doing.
