How to Add Pictures to TikTok

tiktok

Alright TikTok, we’re sick of your shit.

We don’t want to just make videos. Sometimes we want to use still images, too. Imagine that. A world of content using still images? No one has ever thought of that before. No one except EVERYONE FOR THE LAST 45,000 YEARS. TIKTOK GET WITH THE PROGRAM. Our ancestors have been cranking out still image content since the dawn of time. Motherfuckers were doing it on the walls of caves in ancient Indonesia 45 millennia ago. And since then, we’ve only gotten better! We’ve learned about forced perspective, The Golden Ratio, and fucking Impressionism and it’s only allowed us to create more flame emoji-worthy content. Have you ever heard of Picasso? Or Rembrandt? Or my man Pliny the Elder? What about Michaelangelo and a little number called the Sistine Chapel? These people were the greatest content creators in human history, and they did it without videos so why can’t we!?

Just kidding, we can.

How to add still pictures to TikTok

Just open TikTok. Record a video. Tap “effects.” Tap “insert photo.” Select the glorious piece of art you wish to use. Position it how you want it. Then, post that shit.

It’s THAT SIMPLE. YOU TOO CAN BE GUSTAV KLIMPT. YOU TOO CAN BE VINCENT VAN GOGH. THE “CONCEPTUAL ART FOOLS WILL BOW TO YOUR SUPREME CONTENT-CREATING SKILLS. YOUR WORK WILL HANG IN THE HALLS OF THE GREATEST CONTENT COLLECTIONS IN THE WORLD. THE WORLD WILL LOVE YOUR CONTENT. AND BY CREATING CONTENT, YOU WILL RETURN THAT LOVE TO THE WORLD.

They have been writing articles for nerds on the internet for less than a year now. They really like anime. Like... REALLY like it. Like you know those annoying little kids that will only eat hotdogs and chicken fingers? They're like that... but with anime. It's starting to get sad.
