Fanci Panci Bookmarklets for easy peasy Zazzle Collection Animations on Social Media
There's a new tool out from the NiftyToolZ stable. This one makes it super easy to promote your Zazzle Collections with an animated gif on:
- Pinterest (one-click magic) See the pin
- Facebook (click and drag, copy and paste) See the post
- X - formerly Twitter (click and drag, copy and paste) See the post
Here's an example of a gif made with it:

How do I make my own animated Collection gifs?
To start off, you need the bookmarklets, as that's the way the tool works. When clicked on a Zazzle Collections page (your own or someone else's) some details are gathered and then passed on to a tool page, which creates the animation.
It's also where you get the bookmarklets in the first place:
1-click magic to create a Pinterest pin
Watch this short 2min video to see just how cool this tool is. It only takes one click to make a pin featuring an animated collection gif!
Creating a Facebook Post
For this, you'll use the Fanci bookmarklet. Here's the steps:
- Get to a Collection page on Zazzle (front end, not in your store management view)
- Click the Fanci bookmarklet
- Wait a few seconds for it to do its stuff
- Save the animated gif to your desktop
- Start a new Facebook post
- Drag and drop the image from your desktop to the post
- Copy the text you're given (maybe after editing it to add some hashtags)
- ...and paste it into your post.
- Done!
The steps are pretty much identical for a post on X (formerly Twitter).
Here's what you see when you use the Fanci bookmarklet:

That's it.
Even though it's a few extra steps, you gotta agree that's it's really easy peasy to make and create posts of your Zazzle collections with NiftyToolz Fanci-Panci bookmarklets!
Enjoy!
