# Changes to GIF Support in Lumen5

GIF feature in Lumen5 was discontinued on **June 1, 2026**.

GIFs are no longer available in the media tab, and you are no longer able to add GIFs directly to your videos using our built-in GIF search.

## What’s Changing
Starting June 1, 2026:
* The GIF section has been removed from the media tab.
* You are no longer able to search or insert GIFs directly within Lumen5.

## How to Add GIFs Going Forward
You can still include GIFs in your videos by uploading them manually.
1. Find a GIF on websites such as Tenor or other GIF libraries.
2. Download the GIF to your computer.
3. Upload the file to your Lumen5 Media Library.
4. Add it to your video just like any other uploaded media asset.
