How to send gif in mail body

To send a GIF in the body of an email, you'll need to attach the GIF file to the email and then use HTML code to embed it in the email body. Here's a step-by-step guide:

Method 1: Using HTML and Attachment

Create a new email and compose the body of the email as you normally would.
Attach the GIF file to the email by clicking on the "Attach file" or "Paperclip" icon in your email client.
In the email body, add the following HTML code to embed the GIF:
```
<img src="cid:gif-attachment" alt="GIF Attachment">
```
Replace "gif-attachment" with the actual name of the attached GIF file (without the file extension).
Send the email.

Method 2: Using Base64 Encoding

Create a new email and compose the body of the email as you normally would.
Convert the GIF file to Base64 encoding using an online tool or a programming language like Python. You can use a tool like Base64 Encoder or a Python script like this:
```
import base64
```

with open('gif-file.gif', 'rb') as f: gif_data = f.read() base64_encoded_data = base64.b64encode(gif_data)

email_body = f""


Replace `'gif-file.gif'` with the actual name of the GIF file.

3. Send the email with the Base64-encoded GIF data in the email body.

**Tips and Variations**

* Make sure to set the email client to send the email as HTML (not plain text) to ensure the GIF is displayed correctly.
* If you're using a web-based email client, you might need to use a third-party service or plugin to send GIFs in the email body.
* You can also use other image formats like PNG or JPEG, but GIF is often preferred for its animation capabilities.
* If you're sending a large GIF file, consider compressing it using tools like [TinyPNG](https://tinypng.com/) or [GIF compressor](https://www.gifcompressor.com/) to reduce the file size.

Remember to check with your email provider or organization's email policies to ensure that sending GIFs in the email body is allowed.
