Google Image Search now allows you to search specifically for animated and transparent Gifs

Incredibly good news folks, Google is now allowing you to use its Image Search tool to specifically target animated images like Gifs. The new tweak should allow you to snag the perfect Gif that much easier.

Just click the drop-down search tools option and check the ‘animated’ box. and go for it. Google says that it has also added a ‘transparent’ tick box under the ‘Any color’ dropdown to specify animated images with empty backgrounds.
