Apply for a Brand or Creator Account
Ready to share your GIFs and Stickers with the world? Anyone creating original, non-commercial content can be a Creator on GIPHY. If you’re representing a company selling goods or services, you’ll need to apply as a Brand. Once you know which account you’re applying for, you can get started here! Just make sure you’ve uploaded at least 5 pieces of content (if you’re a Creator, that content must all be set to public).
Application Details
Please read carefully — applications are limited to one per GIPHY account. Here’s what you’ll need:
Email Address
• Brands: Use an email address with a company domain that matches your username (example: jane@yourbrand.com).
• Creators: Use the email where we can best reach you.
Username
• Brands: Your username should accurately reflect your business name (avoid numbers, underscores, or special characters).
• Creators: Choose a username that best reflects your accounts in other places online. If you have a fan channel, your username must not trick other users into thinking it's an official account.
• Need to change it? Visit Change your GIPHY Username.
Contact Name
• Use your full name (example: Jane Smith).
• Creators: Pseudonyms are acceptable.
Display Name
• Double-check that your Display Name is exactly how you’d like it to appear on your account. We’ll pull it from your existing Settings, or you’ll be prompted to add it during the application process.
Website
• Brands: Include a working link to your business’s custom web domain (social profiles don’t qualify).
• Creators: We either need a website that reflects your work, or a link to your social site (see below).
Social Profile
• Provide the full URL of your most relevant social media account (example: http://instagram.com/giphy). Note: these must be public accounts!
• Brands: If you’re verified elsewhere, link that profile here.
Avatar
• All applicants must have an avatar. Upload a 250×250 JPG, PNG, or GIF during the application process.
Parent Company (Optional)
• If you’re a Brand with a parent company, you may include it here.
Location (Optional)
• Let us know where you’re based so we can best support your request.
