To begin with, use Google search to find your preferred GIF.
After clicking on images, seek out your preferred graphic, right click and choose ‘Save Image As…’ and save it.
The tech influencer then clicks on the edit icon located on the bottom right-hand corner of any Google tab.
Drag the cursor towards the ‘Upload from device’ box, select your graphic and simply press ‘Open’.
The video then cuts to a fresh, futuristic background, with the TikToker concluding: “And now, boom!

“Sweet!”
A number of users flocked to the comments to hail the savvy tech hack.
