Search for Animated GIF images on Google Image Search

There is no trick in this. You only need to use the image search tool which people generally ignore. Open Google images and search for the keyword to find the image. It will show you various image search results related your search query. Now, you have to filter the search results by using available search tools. Now click on search tools option located at the end of top menu below the search box. In search tools, select Type and select ‘Animated’ option.

Now, all results are animated GIF animations. Select one which you like and then use accordingly.

There is also an alternate way. You can go to advanced image search page. Here, you can provide keyword and select the image type to “Animated”.
