In what city is Giphy headquartered?

Giphy is headquartered in New York, New York, in the United States. The company’s location is commonly listed simply as New York, which is the canonical answer for this quiz question.

Giphy launched in February 2013 as a searchable GIF database founded by Alex Chung and Jace Cooke. Its original idea was to make visual expressions searchable and easy to share, but the service grew into a broader platform supporting animated stickers, artist channels, branded content, and integrations with messaging and social applications.

The New York location can be easy to confuse with the headquarters of companies that have owned or partnered with Giphy. Meta, which acquired Giphy in 2020, is headquartered in Menlo Park, California. Shutterstock, which completed its purchase of Giphy in 2023, is also associated with a different corporate headquarters. Those ownership details do not change Giphy’s listed company location: New York remains the city identified for Giphy itself.
