I use giphy.com, unsplash and always give the referral link to the artist or I have some of my own which are usually screenshots or animated GIFs I made. Not sure how you credit an animated gif from giphy.com.

From the giphy terms of service:

You own all content you contribute to the Services, but you’re ok with Giphy using it in connection with its Services. Public Information is public, so don’t include any private or sensitive information in any public part of the Services.

I seriously doubt that giphy content is owned by whoever uploads it to giphy 🙄.
