You can add GIFs, videos, and TikTok content to your Atlas theme using two main methods:

1. Use the Reel Carousel Section

This is the best option if you want to display TikToks, Reels, Shorts, or GIFs as a scrollable carousel.

How to use it:

  • Open your Shopify theme editor

  • Scroll down and click “Add Section”

  • Search for “Reel Carousel”

  • Paste links from TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, or even GIF URLs

  • Customize layout, spacing, autoplay, and looping features

Tip: Make sure to save your theme after pasting links — the content won’t load until you save.

2. Embed Videos or GIFs into a Rich Text or Image with text sections

For adding standalone media like a single GIF or video:

Option A – Rich Text Block (Simplest)

  • Add a “Rich Text” block inside any section

  • Use the toolbar to click the image or video icon

  • Upload or link your GIF or video

Option B – Image with text

  • Add a “Image with text” block

  • Use the toolbar to click the image or video icon

  • Upload or link your GIF or video

  • Save and preview your store

Best Practices

  • Use MP4s or GIFs under 5MB for best performance

  • Stick to 3–4 videos per page to avoid slowing down your store

  • TikToks should be embedded directly using TikTok’s official embed option for smoother playback
