Welcome to r/gifsthatkeepongiving!
The name seems self explanatory - but what defines a GIF that "keeps on giving?" Well, there are a few guidelines to follow:
- The GIF should be longer than a couple seconds. How can a GIF give more than once if it's only a couple seconds? In your submission, there should be multiple things that happen that contribute to the GIF's funniness, cuteness, or interesting...ness.
- NO! PERFECT! LOOPS! If a GIF is more fit for r/bettereveryloop, do NOT post it! Watching the same thing occur over and over and over and over again is not giving more than once.
- There should be more than one DISTINCT instance of the GIF "giving." What does that mean? If I asked you, "how does this give more than once?" you should be able to point out MULTIPLE aspects of the GIF that are interesting, funny, cute, or otherwise noteworthy of "giving" to the watcher.
- Browse the sub before posting. There is no better way to understand how a sub operates, than to browse and see what's popular. Here is the #1 top post of all time (as of now). It is a perfect example.
- REPORT submissions that do not fit the sub. Yes, we do check the unmod queue, but it's easier for everyone to just hit the REPORT button. Make sure you use it with good reasoning.
There have been many reports recently from users that we are not strict enough in moderating which GIFS "keep on giving." Well, from now on, moderator actions will now be more strictly enforced to maintain quality. If a GIF does not follow these guidelines, it will be removed. That being said, the above rules are still highly subjective. If your GIF is taken down and you do not agree, please send us a message and (politely) tell us why.

Thanks to everyone for sharing your feedback on the community. We are always open to hear suggestions, comments, or anything else you have to say.
Mods, thanks for keeping this sub on track.
I want to also mention the ongoing issue of people posting videos with sound. Having a specific entry on the sub report reason list would be great.
Good idea, I'll look into that but as of now automoderator automatically flags any submission that is from v.reddit
Rule #1 is broken every single day. Mods need to get this sub back on track.
You guys need to police your fucking sub. Way too many posts that arnt gifs that keep on giving are getting mad popular here and is ruining your subs integrity.
Hey yo what about the people that don't have their own subs and try to police in other subs that's frustrating..Ib just got policed
yesterday the dude didn't get the hint to leave me the fuck alone.
Hi is there a guide how to upload here? I’ve tried posting a gif / video and a link to gif on imgur all were auto rejected...
Can anyone please help?
Hmm... There's a couple different ways that work. I see you uploaded to Imgur from mobile, so you can always upload the GIF/video directly to Reddit mobile and convert it to GIF from the app (i.reddit). You can also upload it to Imgur as an image (i.imgur), or upload to gfycat (gfycat.com). Hope that helps!
it's sad the sub has become how it is now it used to be about discovering new things every time you watch and now it's just cool gifs
I'm just really struggling because it's pronounced "Jiff," not Gif, per creator, I think.
Even creators get things wrong sometimes
I haven't seen a gif that keeps on giving in a long time. It's all just short gifs that are sort of entertaining. It's sad the sub isn't moderated as well as it should be, it's a great concept for a sub.
That’s so interesting thanks. I tried posting directly through the app, via imgur and Gfycat and everytime it said post failed. So gave up.
Tried it just now directly posting a video as a gif and it’s worked perfectly.
Good to hear! :)
IMO perfect loops are the exact ones that will keep on giving. They'll just give and give and before you know it you have taken it 50 times.
If I internally say to myself "wait, there's more? "
How many upvotes did the post get in rule #4?
Over 100k iirc
Your submission has been removed because it is has sound, making it a video rather than a gif. Please download the link that /u/vreddit_bot gives you down below and either use v.redd.it to upload it or use https://imgur.com/upload.
I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.
Petition to change the sun name to gifsthatkeepongifing
Sorry guys, its time for me to leave this sub. Iv not seen a single gif that keeps on giving for months on end and you are doing nothing to enforce the very clear rules laid out here.
Its been fun, but the sub is shit now. Goodbye.
Every post has a thing to report gifs that don’t give and that action does nothing. Oh well!
If i want to repost this on instagram who do I give credit too?
This message? No credit needed. Go ahead post away
Hi I am in charge of @dailytechtv on Instagram! We love that the content that is posted here! Would it be okay if i post some with proper credit?
Absolutely, go right ahead! Just be sure to give credit to the poster. Other than that do what you'd like!
How can you find the poster?
Use the username of the person who posted it. Should be at the top of the submission
Your referring to their reddit account username?
Correct
Videos. Gifs that keep on giving are called videos.
Shouldn't it be "GIFs that keep on GIFfing?"
Why did you ask that here? I thought you said it was covered in this sticky post?
It was, and you clicked the link and read and replied to the comment that asked the same thing as the other post only earlier.
Add bettereveryloop section to the rules pls
I thought it was a misnomer
Not interested.
How large do the files tend to be for these GIFs? I'm struggling to get 20 second-long GIFs below like 10MB.
Surely you mean "keeps on gifing"..?
Red bumps and rash like symptoms
That’s me. That’s me! You think I was born a Black woman?
