3. GIF post

GIF is a short animation that is normally used for sharing emotions or memes that might be difficult to express through text

4. Single video post

Videos are used to gain more attention and increase conversion since they entertain the audience more than a regular text or an image post. See video posting guidelines for Pinterest here.
