How can you legally make SpongeBob gifs?
That's helpful, thank you. Do you know if there are any specific guidelines for using SpongeBob images or characters in a gif?
According to Viacom, the company that owns SpongeBob SquarePants, they don't allow the use of their characters for commercial purposes without permission. However, they have stated that most fan-generated content, including GIFs, is allowed as long as it's not used for monetary gain. So as long as you're not making money off of your SpongeBob gif, you should be okay.
