How to post GIFs made with Procreate on iPad to social media

This is what I discovered through trial and error:


To post on Facebook and Instagram, go to Share under Actions in Procreate app. Choose to Share Animated MP4.


After choosing speed and exporting, click on Facebook or Instagram icon to add comment and share.

10-2021 Update: Instagram requires a minimum length of 3 seconds for animations, and I recently had trouble posting a 4 second animation. Add as much length as you can, without diluting the content, for success with Instagram.

To post on Twitter, I downloaded the Animated GIF to my iPhone from an email. You can also Airdrop the GIF to your iPhone.


Open the Twitter app, choose the tweet icon, and select the GIF from your photos.

Add comment and Share. 

Flipboard App for Mobile Devices

Flipboard allows you to collect articles of interest from the internet in your own magazines. You can view those magazines on your phone or iPad at your convenience. You can share those magazines with others.

Add a "flip it" bookmarklet to your regular computer and flip articles from there for later viewing.

So 3 devices.... your own magazines....3 ways to view them. 

So when you're at the doctor's office with some reading time, no need to peruse the old magazines. You can read articles of your own choosing right on your phone. 

I am using Flipboard on my Windows 7 laptop, my iPhone, and iPad mini. It is also available on Android, Kindle, Fire and NOOK platforms.

Check out my new Flipboard magazine called Web Tech .
