GIF on FACEBOOK Solved/Closed

Question

Hello, I recently signed up for Facebook (two days ago) and I have already uploaded photos and videos, but I can't manage to upload a GIF that works. Can you help me? Thank you

When you upload your photo to Facebook, it is automatically saved in .jpeg format, which does not support animations.

Hello,  I've never seen anyone put a Gif on Facebook, so I guess animated images are blocked... :(

Hello If we can add videos, animated images should go there too.

When I save a GIF that I created as an MPEG 4, I put it on my page in video mode and it works, but it's much heavier and it doesn't quite have the same effect.

They need to be hosted somewhere other than Facebook, that's all! (Archive host is great, the free version offers 100 MB!)

Here's a guy who managed to put an animated image on Facebook in one of his albums !! http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=-3&id=119520141403227#!/photo.php?pid=183343&id=119520141403227
But how did he do it????
I saved the image to my desktop and it's in JPEG format, and when I open it with Explorer, this JPEG image is indeed animated!!!!! I don't understand... I thought maybe it was a GIF originally renamed as JPEG, I tried with another image and it didn't work... Mystery!!!!

Yeah, but it doesn't work with all the gifs, is there a dimension that shouldn't be exceeded?

I found this answer: (  Here’s how to insert an animated image on Facebook.   1) Find or create an animated GIF image. 2) Upload the image to your profile: "Edit my profile" -> "Profile Photo" - "Choose file" 3) Select the image and confirm 4) Go to "Photo" - "the profile pictures" 5) Select the image and choose "Share"  ) But it doesn’t work for me yet How can we do it please?

Hello, I see that this post is marked as "Resolved" but I don’t see any responses!?

I think that the people who succeeded are high-level graphic developers or Facebook administrators.

Does anyone actually have an answer, or is it completely impossible?

Sanfoura Tahfouna It's simple I'm going to explain to you step by step

1 * Download Photofiltre & Unfreez
2 * Open Photofiltre
3 * Open your photo (File -- > Open --> Choose your photo)
4 * Set your photo width to 299 (Right-click on the photo -- > image size)
5 * Save your photo as a "gif" (Right-click on the photo -- > save as --> choose your file and once your file is chosen -- > look at the bottom, there are two small columns horizontally, there is type & filename -- > There's type and a small arrow pointing down like this "<" but down Then choose "GIF (*.gif)" -- > THEN SAVE your photo, do the same for the other
6 * Then open Unfreez
7 * drag your photos into the small white box
8 * in frame delay put the number you want
9 * click Make Animated Gif
10 * Save your gif & that's it!

If you didn't understand how to use Unfreez go to this site: http://demolitetuto.canalblog.com/archives/2007/04/02/4504938.html

There you go but I think my information is clear enough, good luck :) contact me if you didn't understand --'

Hi everyone!
It seems that Facebook does accept GIF formats as it's specified in their FAQ

http://www.facebook.com/help/?faq=13265

So for those who can't access the link, here's what they say:
"Make sure that the photo used has not been modified. Indeed, modifying a photo using third-party software can lead to loading errors.

Also, make sure that the length or width of the photo you're uploading is not more than three times the other dimension.

Note that only .jpg, .gif, .bmp, and .png files are supported.

A photo cannot exceed 15 MB.

Finally, ensure that you have the latest version of your browser and that you have installed the latest version of Java."

I don’t know if you understood this gibberish ... but I don’t!
I keep rereading this sentence
"Also, make sure that the length or width of the photo you're uploading is not more than three times the other dimension."
I absolutely don’t get it... lol

What about you?

Best regards

I think it's like the people who exceed the time limit of a video on YouTube (10 minutes) and some manage to upload a 20-minute one.
I believe that the people who managed to put a gif image in their album simply received permission from Facebook.
