(note the last image shows what the margins should look like) (please help this is due soon) haha
To fix extra padding on GIF images in Klaviyo:
1. **Check Image Size**: Ensure the GIF is the same dimensions as non-GIF images.
2. **Edit HTML/CSS**: Inspect the HTML/CSS for any padding or margin styles applied to the image. Adjust or remove them.
3. **Use Inline Styles**: Apply inline styles directly to the image tag to set `padding: 0;` and `margin: 0;`.
4. **Test in Different Clients**: Sometimes, email clients render images differently, so test across platforms.

Hi
Thank you for posting in the Community!
I think the best possible way for solving this, would be to include the GIF in a 1:1 design in canva. Then save the design as a GIF and then include it into klaviyo again.
Hope that helps! :-)

The solve to this was to change the size of the image, for anyone wondering ;)
thanks for speaking upvkxe4
If your GIF isn't filling the column on mobile in Klaviyo, here's how to fix it:
1. **Resize the GIF**: Ensure the GIF matches the size of the container or column where it's placed. This solved the issue for others.
2. **Check Padding and Margins**: Use inline styles like `padding: 0;` and `margin: 0;` on the image tag to remove extra spacing.
3. **Use Design Tools**: Create a 1:1 design for your GIF using tools like Canva, export it, and re-upload it to Klaviyo.
4. **Test Across Devices**: Email clients display things differently, so test how it looks on different platforms.
