Facebook doesn’t let\u00a0you post animated GIFs\u00a0on your news feed or\u00a0wall. Thanks to GifBooster<\/a>, though, you can make GIFs come alive! It’s a browser plug-in\u00a0for Firefox<\/a>, Chrome<\/a>, Internet Explorer<\/a>, Safari<\/a> and Opera<\/a> and below, we’ll show you\u00a0how it works<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

1. Add the plug-in to your browser<\/h3>\n

When you download GifBooster, you’ll be taken to a\u00a0page where you can select which browser you’re using, <\/strong>although it’ll usually detect your browser by default. Follow the instructions to add GifBooster to your browser. In this case, we used Google Chrome.<\/p>\n

Click Add<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

2. Share a\u00a0test GIF<\/h3>\n

Once you’ve\u00a0added GifBooster, the plugin will redirect you\u00a0to the GifBooster\u00a0page so you can test it. Select any of the sample GIFs (the panda bear, for example) and click Share<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This opens a new window, where you can choose which Facebook profile you want to share the GIF on, and if you want to add a message.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

3. Share your own\u00a0GIFs!<\/h3>\n

Once the test is successful, you’ll be ready to use GifBooster on Facebook. Try sharing<\/strong> a GIF on your wall <\/strong>to\u00a0see how it looks. You’ll also be able to see which of your friends have GifBooster installed in their browser.<\/p>\n

You can find\u00a0GIFs using sources like\u00a0Giphy<\/a> (a must-visit site), or you can create your own<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Once you have the one you want, post it on Facebook as if it were a link.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Important note<\/h3>\n

When using GifBooster, you need to take two factors into account<\/strong>. The first is that for your friends to see your animated GIF, they must also have the plugin\u00a0installed on their browsers. If they don’t, they’ll only see a link.<\/p>\n

The other is the fact that Facebook is continually updating its code, meaning that\u00a0GifBooster\u00a0may not always work properly and might need occasional\u00a0updates by its developers.<\/p>\n
