Fortunately, Facebook is now equipped to handle GIFs, which can be uploaded as an image using the &#8220;Photo\/Video&#8221; tool. To find GIFs to upload to Facebook, visit one of the many GIF hosting websites. Some of these websites provide explicit links directly beneath the images, while others require you to copy and paste the URL from their popup menu or address bar.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Animated_GIFs\"><\/span>Animated GIFs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Using GIFs in Facebook comments makes your comments more fun and engaging. You can add GIFs to your comments by clicking the &#8220;Add Media&#8221; button on the right side of the comment box (next to the emoji button on mobile, or the photo attachment or sticker button on desktop). To upload GIFs to Facebook, follow the steps outlined in this step-by-step guide.<\/p>\n<p>Before, to upload an animated picture to Facebook, you would need to use a third-party resource. However, since early 2015, Facebook has enabled animated GIFs on its site and users can now add them to their posts, comments, and private messages. Animated GIFs can also be used in advertising. However, Facebook recommends that users upload GIFs no larger than 8MB. While Facebook&#8217;s official support page has a list of recommended sizes for animated GIFs, it&#8217;s still not clear how big you can upload them.<\/p>\n<p>Facebook has been averse to native GIFs in its News Feed for quite some time. They must be hosted elsewhere and must be uploaded to Facebook as a link. But the company is considering adding native GIFs in the future. A recent update has added a new date comparison tool to the Ads Manager. If you want your animated GIF to play in the News Feed, the format is now compatible with your Facebook page&#8217;s video editor.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_a_gif_to_a_comment\"><\/span>Adding a gif to a comment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can add a GIF to a comment on Facebook. You can use GIFs to compliment your text, photo, or emoji. GIFs are easy to find on the site by using phrases such as &#8216;congratulations&#8217;, &#8216;proud of you,&#8217; or &#8216;congrats&#8217;. Once you have found a GIF, you can use it to express your thoughts or feelings in a Facebook comment.<\/p>\n<p>To add a GIF to your comment, log in to your Facebook account and go to the commenting page. Next, click the empty space to insert your GIF. You will notice an icon for GIFs on the right side of the commenting bar. Click the icon, which looks like the initials &#8216;GIF.&#8217; After selecting the GIF, you can enter your text.<\/p>\n<p>Adding a gif to sexy, funny, or heartwarming gifs to Facebook comments are an excellent way to respond to other people&#8217;s posts. Just be careful not to confuse gifs with memes, as they can be confused with other file formats. Fortunately, a Facebook GIF button lets you post a GIF right in the comment section of your post.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Finding_a_gif_online\"><\/span>Finding a gif online<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Creating a gif for Facebook is easy if you know where to look for them. Facebook offers its own gallery of GIFs, which you can browse or search for. Once you have found one you like, simply copy the link and paste it into your status. After that, you can post it to your page. If you want to include text with the GIF, you can do that too.<\/p>\n<p>The first step is to find a GIF online. There are many websites that offer free GIFs. There are websites dedicated to this purpose. Search the category and choose a GIF. From there, choose the one you want to share. Once you have the image, you can share it with your friends on Facebook. You can also post a link to the image as a comment. You can add more text or images to the GIF.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Uploading_a_gif_from_your_computer_or_phone\"><\/span>Uploading a gif from your computer or phone<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are a number of ways to upload a GIF from your computer or mobile device to Facebook. You can use the &#8220;more&#8221; option to upload a GIF. This option is found under the three-dot menu. You can also select the &#8220;share&#8221; button. To make your GIF visible to more people, you should boost your post. By doing so, you will essentially use your post as an advertisement.<\/p>\n<p>The easiest way to do this is to use a program that specializes in editing files. If you don&#8217;t have one, consider downloading Wondershare UniConverter. This program is very powerful, and is available for free. If you want to upload a GIF, you can choose to add text as well. Once you&#8217;ve done this, you&#8217;re all set. Once your GIF is uploaded, simply click &#8220;Share&#8221; and share it with your friends and family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Post a Gif on Facebook You may wonder how to post a gif on Facebook.
