Reposting content on Facebook is a great way to share interesting posts, photos, and videos with your friends or followers. Unlike platforms like Instagram, Facebook provides multiple ways to repost content, depending on the type of post you want to share.
Here are four easy ways to repost on Facebook using different methods.
1. Use the “Share” Button (Fastest Method)
The easiest way to repost on Facebook is by using the “Share” button.
Steps (Mobile & Desktop):
- Find the post you want to repost.
- Tap or click the “Share” button under the post.
- Choose how you want to share it:
- Share Now – Instantly repost it on your timeline.
- Share to News Feed – Add your own caption before sharing.
- Share to Your Story – Repost it as a Facebook Story.
- Share to a Group – Post it in a Facebook group you’re a member of.
- Send in Messenger – Share it with a friend via Facebook Messenger.
- Click “Post” to publish the reposted content.
📌 Note: If the original post’s privacy is set to “Friends Only” or “Private,” you may not be able to share it publicly.
2. Copy and Paste the Post’s Text
If the original post doesn’t have a Share button, you can copy and paste its text manually.
Steps:
- Highlight the text of the post you want to repost.
- Copy the text by pressing Ctrl + C (Windows) or Cmd + C (Mac).
- Go to your Facebook timeline or a group/page where you want to share the post.
- Paste the copied text by pressing Ctrl + V (Windows) or Cmd + V (Mac).
- Add a comment or caption (if needed) and click “Post”.
📌 Tip: If the post contains images, save them to your device and upload them with the text for a complete repost.
3. Take a Screenshot and Repost
For posts without a share option, taking a screenshot and reposting it as an image is another simple method.
Steps:
- Take a screenshot of the post:
- On Windows: Press PrtScn or Windows + Shift + S.
- On Mac: Press Cmd + Shift + 4.
- On Mobile: Use your device’s screenshot function.
- Go to Facebook and tap “Create Post.”
- Upload the screenshot from your gallery or files.
- Add a caption (optional) and tap “Post.”
📌 Tip: If reposting someone else’s content, give credit to the original poster.
4. Download and Repost Videos or Photos
If you want to repost a video or image, you may need to download it first.
Steps:
- Download the content using a Facebook video downloader (if the privacy settings allow it).
- Go to your Facebook profile or page and tap “Create Post.”
- Upload the downloaded video/photo and add a caption.
- Click “Post” to share it.
📌 Note: Only repost public content or get permission from the original owner before sharing.
