GIPHY Adds Animated GIFs to Facebook
New Options for Spicing Up Your Facebook Posts
GIPHY, the popular GIF and sticker platform, has announced three new options for Facebook users to add animated GIFs to their posts. Previously, GIPHY GIFs could only be shared on Facebook through a link or embedded player, but now users can upload GIFs directly to the Facebook status box, share them as animated GIFs in Facebook Messenger, and add them to comments on Facebook posts.
How to Add Animated GIFs to Facebook
To add an animated GIF to a Facebook post, simply copy the URL of the GIF from GIPHY and paste it into the status box. Facebook will automatically convert the URL into an animated GIF. To share a GIF as an animated GIF in Facebook Messenger, open a chat window and click on the GIF icon. Then, search for the GIF you want and click on the "Send as GIF" button. To add a GIF to a comment on a Facebook post, click on the "Comment" button and then click on the GIF icon. Then, search for the GIF you want and click on the "Add" button.
Conclusion
The addition of animated GIFs to Facebook is a welcome update that makes it easier for users to add a touch of fun and personality to their posts. With GIPHY's vast library of GIFs, there's sure to be a GIF perfect for any occasion. So next time you're posting on Facebook, don't forget to add a GIF or two to make your post stand out from the crowd.
