Commenting with Pics 101
Spice up your TikTok activity by adding pictures as comments. Here's what you gotta do:
- Load a video. Open the TikTok app, find a video that deserves a witty comment, and tap the speech bubble icon.
- Access your photo gallery. Tap the photo icon (y'know, the square thing) to browse your camera roll for the perfect pic.
- Choose said pic. Pick the image you want to use in your comment and tap "Apply."
- Add text, if needed. You can type up to 150 characters of text to go along with your image.
- Hit post. Tap the arrow icon to submit your comment.
Remember, every image you slap on a comment will look all sharp-and-snazzy just like the original. Plus, if you add text, it'll always be at the top. Handy, right?
Can I Drop a GIF on TikTok?
As of now, TikTok doesn't support GIF comments in most regions[1]. Don't sweat it, though; if you try to drop a GIF, TikTok will only show the first frame of the animation. So, it'll be like dropping a still pic instead of a moving one. Bummer, we know!
Keys to a Killer Comment Game
Since image comments are still fairly new on TikTok, there aren't many hard-and-fast rules. Here are some tips to help your comments get noticed:
- Resize that Bad Boy: Images with wider aspect ratios take up more space in the comment feed[1]. So, stretch out your images horizontally to maximize their impact.
- Use Trendy Memes: Keep your fingers on the pulse of trendy topics on TikTok to create or find memes relevant to the crowd[2][3].
- Stay Interactive: Engage with other users, respond to comments, and build a community around your content[2][3].
- Time Your Comments: Post during peak hours when there's more engagement[2][3].
- Keep it Real and Funny: Humor and authenticity are key on TikTok. Grab a laugh with funny memes and comments[4].
Quick Note on GIFs
Alas, GIF support on TikTok isn't all the way here yet[1]. In the meantime, they'll appear as static images using the first frame.
So there you have it, mate! Now you're ready to rock image and meme comments on TikTok and increase your engagement like never before. Don't forget to share this guide with your mates, so they can join the fun!
