# Prerequisites for Viewing GIFs on Outlook

What are the necessary prerequisites for viewing GIFs on Outlook?

Signitic allows you to integrate **animated GIFs** into your email signatures for a dynamic and engaging result.  
However, to ensure proper display and optimal reading of these animations, certain **technical requirements** must be met.

-   **Use Outlook 2013 or higher**  
    Outlook 2013 is the oldest version compatible with the correct display of signatures containing GIFs via Signitic.
    
-   **Update your Outlook version**  
    It is essential that your application is up to date, particularly on the **correct Microsoft 365 update channel**. This ensures the compatibility and stability of all services related to signature display.
    

### 🔍 Check your version and update channel

1.  Open Outlook
    
2.  Click on the **File**
    
3.  Select **Office Account**
    
4.  There you will find information about the **installed version** as well as the **update channel**
    

This will allow you to ensure that your configuration complies with the requirements for displaying GIFs in your signature.
