Yes - sort of. The first will be on show all the time and the rest will cycle round

No. An optimum delay is set of 2 seconds between product images. This is a balance between it being slow enough to give a viewer the chance to see the design but not so slow that they get bored and move on without clicking!

Yes. Hit the stop and set options button. In the options panel that opens up you'll be able to set the order (in addition to setting the one that always stays on show and removing any product views you don't want included.)

Yes

When you hit the bookmarklet on a product page, you get a dialog box showing the different layout options.

There's 2 each for portrait and landscape orientation animations with the product image that changes being shown either on the top/bottom or left/right.

Just choose the one you want and enter its number in the box provided.

If you pay a Nifty subscription then yes, it's used in the link you're given in the text box (applies both to normal and promoter program subscriptions).

If you don't pay a subscription, then at the toss of a computer coin, either yours gets used or mine does. On average, yours will be used in half the animations you create.

This is known as a 50/50 referral split and helps to pay for the Nifty web server.

Yes. Just edit the link that you're given in the text box so it doesn't have the ? or anything after it.

Yes, but not quite in the same way as for Facebook or X/Twitter. Unfortunately, without taking an additional conversion step it won't animate.

So what you need to do is to convert the animated gif file to an mp4 video and that will animate on Pinterest. I use and recommend convertio (opens in a new tab)

So to do this, first set up any options how you want then:

• right-click and save the animation to your desktop
• start creating your new pin
• convert the animation to mp4 at the link above and download the resulting mp4 to your desktop
• drag that mp4 video to the pin
• edit the text you're given in the box on the animation creation page to how you want it
• add any hashtags you want - use no more than, say, five
• copy the text for the title and paste it into your pin
• copy the text for the description and paste it
• copy and paste the link text
• hit publish
• choose your board

You're done! You'll find your pin in the Created section and you should expect lots of impressions and engagements

Yes, it's here: (TBD) tutorial (opens in a new tab)

Click the button labelled stop and set options. The options panel will open and generation of the current animation will stop.

When you've set things the way you want, click the generate button to start over, generating the animation with your chosen options.

Note that once you've clicked the stop and set options button there's no way to continue. The only choice you have at this point is to hit the generate button or to close the tab.

If you don't set any options then no text will be used, the first product view image will be the one permanently on show and the rest will cycle around.

Here's some tips in using the animated gifs / mp4s. More may be added in future.

• If making for Pinterest, put any text at the top because the white progress bar that shows while the video is playing partially obscures the text if it's at the bottom
• If making for uploading the gif to your product as product media do use text so it looks different to all the existing product views. (Looking different is a Zazzle stipulation)
• Also when making for product media, put the text at the bottom or it might get obscured by the share and heart icon at top left when viewed on the product page
• Niftyers report that, once converted to mp4, these are great for Instagram as well!
• If there are more than 12 product views, your animated gif may end up being larger than 15MB - which is the largest allowed on Twitter/X. If that happens, just convert it to an mp4 video and then it'll be ok. For conversion, I use and recommend convertio (opens in a new tab)
