Library is the new tool announced for TikTok. This is a creative set that will allow you to use animated clips and images, with or without sound, directly from the GIPHY platform. In this way, you will be able to integrate new content into your TikTok videos.
This new feature also allows us to use high-quality content from large platforms. Among them, we have HBO, ABC, Hulu, Xbox and The Roku Channel. You will be able to access this content using GIPHY Clips, a type of GIF with added audio.
According to a statement from GIPHY itself, Library is a feature that “unlocks a new category of entertainment content.” With it, they seek that users “ comment, debate or make parodies, and allow more creators to participate or start their own trends,” said the company.
For its part, this new GIPHY Library is expected to gradually reach all users over the next few weeks. Initially, Android device owners will be the first to receive it this week; while those using iOS should start receiving the new feature in the next one.
When we created the Clips library, people were already consuming more audio content. They were streaming shows on mobile and quickly moving to platforms like TikTok, where audio drives creativity.
This type of partnership has been our North Star since the beginning, as Clips are designed for people to view, use and share, and TikTok is a perfect platform for it.
