Valheim GIF Posters
Place animated GIFs or static PNG/JPEG images on walls in Valheim using direct image URLs.
How to use
- Select Image poster in the hammer's Furniture category and place it on a wall. It costs 2 wood.
- Press E on the poster and paste a direct GIF, PNG, or JPEG URL, such as or
- Wait for the image to load. Submit an empty URL to clear the poster.
- Press Alt + E to set that poster's scale. Enter a value from 0.25 to 10, with up to two decimal places. Both 1.5 and 1,5 are accepted. 1 is the default size. The scale is saved per poster and shared with other players.
Use a URL that returns the image file itself, not a preview page on a site such as Giphy, Tenor, or an image host. The file type is detected from its contents, so URLs with query parameters also work. GIFs are limited to 512 × 512 pixels; PNG and JPEG images are limited to 4096 × 4096 pixels. Downloads are limited to 16 MiB. Every player must be able to reach the URL. The Valheim server shares the URL, while each client downloads the image independently. Expiring URLs stop working after they expire.
Installation
Install with a compatible mod manager to get the declared dependencies automatically. The mod, BepInExPack Valheim, and Jötunn must be installed on the server and on every client. Restart the game and server after installing; this mod uses Jötunn's EveryoneMustHaveMod compatibility setting.
For manual installation, install BepInExPack Valheim and Jötunn, then copy ValheimGifPosters.dll to BepInEx/plugins/ValheimGifPosters/ on the server and every client. For r2modman, use that path inside the active profile.
The configuration file is BepInEx/config/xaren.valheim.gifposters.cfg.
Preview
Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.
Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file. In multiplayer, the host and every client need the same mods installed.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
