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 make the GIF smaller or change the GIF dimensions for a better fit.
Need a cleaner canvas first? Try the GIF resizer or crop the frame, then add captions here. For a lighter file afterward, open the online GIF compressor.
