How Do I Input GIFs in a Text Post on Tumblr?
Social networking site Tumblr has dedicated post types for text and images, but the two are not mutually exclusive. You can add a text caption to an image post, or you can add a GIF or other image to a text post for artistic flair or to illustrate a point. Click the "Insert/edit Image" button at the top of the editor window when creating a text post on Tumblr to insert an image into your post.
