When the announcement came a few days ago, it seemed as though the Internet collectively shouted…
FINALLY!
And of course, there are also those who are cringing because they fear a more cluttered newsfeed.
With so many other social networks already supporting animated GIFs, Facebook is finally catching up.
To post the animation to your page, you have to grab the URL of the file and paste it into your status update box. You cannot use the Upload Image feature as of yet.
Have you tested it yet? It's working on my page, but others have reported no luck yet. It seems to be rolling out in waves. So if you don't see it yet sit tight…. it's coming your way.
You'll be able to copy images from Giphy, Tumblr, etc. right into your feed and it works on the mobile app too.
Where to Make Animated GIFs From Your Own Images
You can go to sites like Picasion, Gickr, and EZGif.com just to name a few. And no doubt there will be plenty of Facebook apps coming to a mobile
device near you.
You could take a few different poses of yourself and upload your thoughts along with it to make your comment more interesting.
The possibilities are endless and this can be great for promotion. Let's say you're having a sale on a product and want to create a banner with an animated call to action.
