And there goes yet another major media hosting platform. The Gfycat site has a notice that reads, “The Gfycat service is being discontinued. Please save or delete your Gfycat content by visiting https://www.gfycat.com and logging in to your account. After September 1, 2023, all Gfycat content and data will be deleted from gfycat.com.”

And if you don’t have an account, this is the time to get your favorite GIFs downloaded/backed up.
