Prerequisites
Before you embark on creating your animated GIF gallery with Modula, ensure you have the following:

- To create a new gallery, head to your WP dashboard > then to Modula > and click “Add New”.
- This will automatically take you to the gallery edit screen so you can start working on your gallery right away
Step 2 – Upload GIFs
Upload your animated GIFs seamlessly into your Modula gallery.
- Once in the gallery’s editor > click the “Select From Library/Upload image files” button.
- Upload/Select and insert your animated GIFs.
Step 3 – Configure Your Settings
Before publishing your animated GIF gallery, ensure you’ve configured the settings correctly.
