GIPHY is a leading digital database and search engine that allows users to discover, share, and create animated GIFs, stickers, and short-form video content across mobile and desktop platforms. Founded in 2013 and headquartered in New York, the company operates a multi-faceted business model centered on visual communication, serving over 10 billion pieces of content daily to more than 1 billion people through direct access and extensive API integrations with major messaging and social media apps like WhatsApp, Instagram, and Slack. GIPHY generates revenue primarily through advertising and brand partnerships, offering sponsored content, branded channel collaborations, and bespoke creative services through GIPHY Studios to help businesses engage consumers within their everyday digital conversations. After raising over $150 million in venture capital, GIPHY was acquired by Meta Platforms in 2020 and later sold to Shutterstock in 2023.
