Scroll down to the &#8220;Choose a GIF&#8221; section. Type in the term you&#8217;re looking for to find a GIF. Choose one in the search results. Alternatively, copy the link and paste it in the comment box. The image will be retained after you change the text.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Giphy\"><\/span>Giphy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To post a GIF to Facebook, you can use the GIPHY App or website. From the details window, select the &#8220;post to Facebook&#8221; option. Once you&#8217;ve chosen the option, you&#8217;ll be prompted to enter a GIF description and hit the &#8220;Post&#8221; button. You&#8217;ll then be directed to the Giphy site, where you can copy and paste the GIF URL into your status.<\/p>\n<p>Creating a GIF is easy and simple. Once you&#8217;ve created an account, you&#8217;ll see a drop-down menu that will let you choose what type of GIF you want to post. Choose a style that suits the type of comment you&#8217;re posting. Some GIFs will only work if they&#8217;re in a specific format, but Facebook will recognize them automatically.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Facebooks_dislike_of_GIFs\"><\/span>Facebook&#8217;s dislike of GIFs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In the early days, Facebook didn&#8217;t allow native GIFs in comments, but persistent users convinced management to change the policy. In addition, GIFs are a good way to illustrate your point or to amuse others. And while Facebook likes the visual appeal of GIFs, it doesn&#8217;t like the fact that they direct people away from its content, which affects its traffic. To solve this problem, Facebook introduced the GIF button in the Post text box.<\/p>\n<p>But what about the Facebook comments system? You can use the GIF button, but make sure to follow Facebook&#8217;s instructions. If you want to use a GIF in your comment, you&#8217;ll need to post it in a way that doesn&#8217;t include image macros or a link to another website. In some cases, you&#8217;ll only get a still image, which isn&#8217;t the desired effect.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Giphys_tools\"><\/span>Giphy&#8217;s tools<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to add a GIF to your Facebook comment, you need to use Giphy. The website allows you to browse millions of GIFs and upload your own. You can search by keyword or browse through categories. Check out the &#8220;artists&#8221; section for original animated GIFs from artists and creatives. Once you&#8217;ve found a GIF you like, you can simply copy and paste the URL to your status box on Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re wondering how to post a GIF on Facebook, the answer is in the name. Facebook has introduced an upload feature for GIFs, but it&#8217;s only available for desktop. It automatically recognizes the file type and treats it as a video, letting you know when it&#8217;s finished. If you&#8217;re wondering how to use Giphy&#8217;s tools to post a GIF to Facebook comment, here are some steps to get you started:<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Uploading_a_GIF\"><\/span>Uploading a GIF<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve ever wondered how to post a GIF in a Facebook comment, the answer is very easy. Facebook has added a GIF button to comments, which is short for Graphics Interchange Format. This file format is also known as JIF, and can be used to post animated GIFs. The GIF button can be added to any post by following the same steps as adding an image in a Facebook comment.<\/p>\n<p>To use a GIF, go to the &#8220;format&#8221; tab and choose a video. If you want to add a GIF to a post, select &#8220;video&#8221; and select &#8220;GIF.&#8221; Once you&#8217;ve chosen a video, click the blue &#8220;Promote&#8221; button. This will let you upload the GIF and link it to your post. Boosting a post will increase its reach.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_a_GIF_to_a_Facebook_comment\"><\/span>Adding a GIF to a Facebook comment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Adding a GIF to a comment in Facebook is incredibly easy. Just log in and click on the space below the photo you want to comment on. From there, you can add a GIF or search for one that already exists. GIFs can be any type of picture you can imagine &#8211; happy birthday, dancing, sad, etc. GIFs are also available in other formats on websites such as Flickr, which lets you use them in your comments.<\/p>\n<p>Adding a GIF to a comment on Facebook is easy to do, but you have to make sure to use the right application. Fortunately, Facebook provides a GIF button on its website, which you can find on the right side of the comment box. Click the button to paste the GIF, which will appear as an image on your comment. Unlike other social networking sites, Facebook does not allow you to post GIFs to brand pages. Once you&#8217;ve installed a GIF viewer, you can add one to your comment in just a few minutes.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe frameborder=\"0\" height=\"205\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/niBvvdvpQKY\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"367\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Post a GIF in a Facebook Comment To post a GIF in a Facebook comment, follow these steps: On your homepage, click &#8220;What&#8217;s on your mind?&#8221; then &#8220;Create a new post.&#8221; In the &#8220;Create Post&#8221; window, click the three dots to see your options.
