To customize your own Google Chrome page, you need to:

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

  • You will be greeted with this screen. Click “Upload from device” and find the GIF you saved as PNG.
