How To Put Animated Gif On Facebook?

To put an animated gif on your Facebook, you must firstly have it downloaded on your computer system. To do this from the Internet, right click the gif and select the save option. It should be noted that video software will be required on your computer for the gif to remain animated. Once the gif is in a file location on your computer, log into Facebook and go to the 'upload video' option. At this point it seems necessary to add that gifs can only be uploaded as videos, due to the animation features. You will then be given the option to browse through files on your computer; find the gif and select it. After this, simply click upload and your animated gif will appear on your wall to be viewed by your friends.

• A further option - upload an unanimated gif

Alternatively, you could upload the gif in picture form (without its animation features). To do this, simply complete the above process but select to add a picture rather than a video. This can be advantageous as you will then be able to use the gif as your profile picture, which isn't possible with video files.

• Posting on Facebook

Facebook gives you to option to post messages, pictures and videos on a regular basis. These will be shared with your Facebook friends, who will have the option to like or comment on the content you upload. Facebook allows the uploading of any content type, as long as it isn't classed as offensive or sexual. In this case, you should avoid posting at all costs, as your content is likely to be reported. This could lead to your profile being removed from Facebook.
