Go down to the file and browse buttons
Browse the computer for your new screenshot GIF file
And upload.

It's great how that site scrubs all your personal details from the Gif too.

I forgot to add (lol). In any case it was a very artistic erase it looked a bit like a crocodile.

Seriously though, a nice useful tip.
