Choose a motion by sender type

Start with the job of the inbox. A founder, support alias, and launch account usually need different motion restraint.

Founder outreachUse a face, initials mark, or simple logo when a real person is sending sales or partnership emails.Try: Gentle float or tiny shine
Small-business repliesUse a simplified brand mark for customer replies, quotes, invoices, and support follow-ups.Try: Light sweep or water ripple
Workspace team inboxesUse the same crop and motion rules for sales, support, success, and launch aliases.Try: Soft reveal or calm pulse

Motion prompt ideas to try

Pick one simple effect. A Gmail avatar is tiny, so clean motion beats complex animation almost every time.

What makes a good Gmail GIF?

  • Keep the source image square and high contrast.
  • Ask for one motion idea, not a full scene.
  • Tell the model to preserve letters, symbols, colors, and layout.
  • Test the downloaded GIF in the Gmail clients your audience uses.
