What is Add Text to GIF?

Add Text to GIF is a free online tool that lets you add custom text, captions, and labels to animated GIF files. Create memes, add subtitles, or overlay text on your GIFs with real-time preview. The GIF text editor supports multiple fonts, custom colors, stroke effects, and precise positioning for professional-looking results.

How to Add Text to Animated GIFs

Upload your animated GIF file to start adding text overlays. Type your caption or message in the text field, then customize the font family, size, and colors. Click and drag to position your text anywhere on the GIF. Add multiple text layers for complex designs. Download the final GIF with all text embedded into every frame, maintaining the original animation and quality.

Customize Font Styles and Text Effects

Choose from popular web fonts including Impact (classic meme font), Arial, Comic Sans, and more. Adjust font size from 10px to 200px for perfect readability. Add colored stroke outlines to make text stand out against any background. Customize text color and stroke color independently with full RGB color picker support. Perfect for creating bold captions and eye-catching text overlays.

Add watermarks or copyright text to protect your animated content. Create educational GIFs with step-by-step instructions. Design social media posts with eye-catching text overlays for Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook.
