10 best GIF keyboards for Android

GIFs (Graphics Interchange Format) are now at par with emojis and emoticons when texting someone. GIFs and memes hold most of the conversations together and this immense popularity has seen them being incorporated into keyboards.

Thankfully, Android is such that we can easily add extensions to existing apps to make them better and customise it to our needs. Sharing GIFs through keyboards are still quite troublesome since most built-in keyboards do not support them. Circumventing this issue is as simple as downloading the right apps from the Play Store.

Fleksy

The fastest and most fun keyboard available that supports GIF sharing along with stickers. It's a robust app specifically developed for texting. One can add several extensions within the app to increase control over GIFs, stickers, and emoticons.

With over 100 million downloads, Kika combines emojis, GIFs with stylish and animated themes, funky fonts and numerous sounds. There are several thousand emojis, emoticons, kaomojis and their library is on the rise.
