How To Share A Gif On Facebook
Firstly you can not directly upload any GIF on facebook as its not going to reveal it, the only method today is to use other image hosting website to host your GIF image then you can share that animated GIF link on facebook, which will show your GIF instantly on facebook.
1. Search the GIF image that you want to share on facebook.
2. You can produce your very own GIF images using YouTube videos or Camtasia Studio or other software application that you like. If you desire to increase speed of GIF you can do so. (the point is that you have to have a GIF image with you).
3. Now either upload it to Google Drive, Dropbox, or any image hosting website that offers you the image with direct link to open in internet browser.
4. I would choose Imgur.com over any other as it enables you to host your images without register and even unrestricted hosting.
5. So head over to their site, drag your GIF image or press the upload button and publish your animated GIF image on their site.
6. Now after the image is submitted on IMGUR you will see links to that image on the right-hand man side, choose the second yellow highlighted link like in the image above.
7. Copy that link but ensure to get rid of the last v from the link, so this link http://i.imgur.com/HB4iiCX.gifv will end up being http://i.imgur.com/HB4iiCX.gif
8. So you need to ensure that the above action is done, else it will reveal the link as video.
9. Now your link is prepared, merely head over to Facebook and check in.
10. Now paste the link in your status and listed below you will see live demo of that GIF image working.
11. You can see the preview by clicking on the image and that will play the GIF image.
12. Now you can remove the link and write down anything as your status.
