HOW IT WORKS

How to Add Text to a GIF

01

Upload your GIF

Choose an animated GIF from your device. It stays private.

02

Enter your text

Add captions, subtitles, or a watermark and style each text item.

03

Download your GIF

Set the timing, preview the result, and download your animated GIF.

Features of Our GIF Text Editor

Add multiple text items, choose a font and color, place words at the top, center, or bottom, and control exactly when each one appears.

Add Captions or a Watermark

Write text on an animated GIF for a reaction, tutorial, subtitle, or brand mark. The default white text with a dark outline stays readable over busy scenes.

Why Add Text to GIFs?

Text gives an animation context without changing its motion. Create a clear caption, label a moment, or add a subtle watermark before sharing.

Keep Editing Your GIF

After adding text, you can compress your GIF or resize your GIF for a better fit.
