How to Fix GIF Files on Tumblr
Tumblr is a social-networking and blog website that allows users to create blogs and upload various types of posts such as text, video, audio, photo and quote posts. Uploading animated GIF images to Tumblr is common among users. However, attempting to upload a GIF image to any kind of post other than a text post will result in a gray box in place of the image. To prevent this, you will need to upload the image to a text post, and use the HTML code from that post to place the image in another type of blog post.
