We’ll be celebrating our 7th birthday tomorrow and we want you to join in the fun! Help us spread the love for Sketchfab far and wide!

Tomorrow we encourage you to make an animated GIF of one of your models on Sketchfab and share it on your favorite social accounts along with your Sketchfab profile url (like sketchfab.com/bitgem) and the hashtag #SketchfabDay. We’ll be following along all day long and re-tweeting our favorites!

It’s a simple three step process:

1. Choose one of your models to feature

Here’s one of mine:

2. Generate a GIF

Making an animated GIF of your favorite Sketchfab model couldn’t be easier. Just use our web-based GIF Exporter. Enter the URL of the model you want or search by name and hit “render”. If the model is animated, the exporter will render the frames of the animation. If it’s not, you can select a duration, and the exporter will render out as a spinning “turntable”.

You can choose any resolution, but the default 640×360 is already a great optimized size for social media.

3. Share it!

Finally, share your animated GIF on your favorite social media channels on our 7th birthday, tomorrow, March 26th. Here’s an example of how your post might look:

Don’t forget to use the hashtag #SketchfabDay and add your profile URL. If you prefer, you can share a favorite model from another creator, but be sure to add a credit or mention if the work is not yours.

But wait! Don’t post yet. Remember, #SketchfabDay is tomorrow!
