If you can provide your image in SVG format and if it is an icon and not a photo so it can be animated with SMIL animations, then it would be definitely the superior alternative to gif images (or even other formats).

SVG images, like other image files, could be used with either standard markup or HTML <img> element:

![image description](the_path_to/image.svg)

<img src="the_path_to/image.svg" width="128"/>

you can use      any link of image  Also I would suggest to use https   stackedit io  for markdown formating and wring it is much easy than remembering all the markdown syntax

in addition to all answers above  if you want to use a gif for your github repository README md and don t want to address it from your root directory  it s not enough if you just copy the url of your browser  for example your browser URL is sth like  https   github com ashkan-nasirzadeh simpleShell blob master README 20assets shell-gif gif but you should open your gif in your github account and right click on it and click copy image address or sth like that which is sth like this  https   github com ashkan-nasirzadeh simpleShell blob master README 20assets shell-gif gif raw true

Showing gifs need two things  1- Use this syntax as in  these examples    Alt Text  https   media giphy com media vFKqnCdLPNOKc giphy gif   Yields     2- The image url must end with gif  3- For posterity  if the  gif link above ever goes bad  you will not see the image and instead see the alt-text and URL  like this     4- for resizing the gif you can use this syntax as in this Github tutorial link   lt img src  https   media giphy com media vFKqnCdLPNOKc giphy gif  width  40  height  40    gt    Yields

Giphy Gotcha  After following the 2 requirements listed above  must end in  gif and using the image syntax   if you are having trouble with a gif from giphy   Be sure you have the correct giphy url  You can t just add  gif to the end of this one and have it work   If you just copy the url from a browser  you will get something like    https   giphy com gifs gol-automaton-game-of-life-QfsvYoBSSpfbtFJIVo  You need to instead click on  Copy Link  and then grab the  GIF Link  specifically  Notice the correct one points to media giphy com instead of just giphy com    https   media giphy com media QfsvYoBSSpfbtFJIVo giphy gif

From the Markdown Cheatsheet   You can add it to your repo and reference it with an image tag   Inline-style     alt text  https   github com adam-p markdown-here raw master src common images icon48 png  Logo Title Text 1    Reference-style     alt text  logo    logo   https   github com adam-p markdown-here raw master src common images icon48 png  Logo Title Text 2    Inline-style     Reference-style       Alternatively you can use the url directly       http   www reactiongifs us wp-content uploads 2013 10 nuh uh conan obrien gif
