How to customize your Google Chrome homepage with any GIF


I spend a lot of time trying to customize every aspect of my laptop: pasting stickers on top, separating all my icons into folders on my desktop, and thanks to a little trick I learned on TikTok, using my favorite GIFs as the background in Google Chrome .

It’s a super simple process that makes using Google Chrome feel a little bit more personalized. All it takes is a few seconds and you go from having a sad white background like this:

to this very good GIF of Marceline performing a song in Adventure time.

To customize your own Google Chrome page, here is what you should do:

  • Find any GIF you want to use. Right-click to bring up the drop-down menu.
  • After selecting the “Save As” option, be sure to add “.PNG” after the name
  • In “Format”, change it from GIF to “All files”. It should look like the image below.

When you right-click on an image to save, this is the box that appears. Note the naming scheme in the Save As field and the “All files” option in the format drop-down box.

  • Next, open a new Google Chrome tab page and click the “Customize” option in the lower right corner. The icon looks like a small pen or wand.
  • You will be greeted with this screen. Click “Upload from Device” and find the GIF that you have saved as PNG.

This is the personalization page that opens when you right-click the icon in the lower right corner of a new tab.

  • And now, your Google Chrome page should play the GIF!

The final product!
