Please review our criteria here: r/HighQualityGifs/wiki/submission_criteria
Please only post gifs that you made yourself and use direct links only. Attempting to pass off someone else's content as your own may result in post removal and/or ban.
Direct links are required, meaning that the URL must end in ".gif, .gifv, .webm" etc.
Please tag NSFW posts when appropriate. No nudity, no gifs from porn videos, and no real-life gore.
All criticism in the comments section must be constructive. Complaints about gif quality or meta gifs will be removed, and you may be banned as a result. Our users spend a lot of time making these gifs. Be nice to them. There's room for gifs of all kinds here.
Please don't make more than 20 posts in a one-week period. It's a bunch of gifs, if you abuse it we might start to care.
I'm an idiot and think that because I don't like a gif it deserves to be removed.
Do not delete and repost a gif to make it perform better. Not every gif will make the front page
