Add Text to GIF

Caption any animated GIF with custom text overlaid on every frame. Perfect for meme creation, tutorial annotations, social media stickers, and accessibility captions.

Features

  • Multi-line text overlay
  • Adjustable font size (8–200 px)
  • Custom text color and outline color
  • Adjustable outline width for that classic meme look
  • Position: top, middle, or bottom
  • Preserves animation timing
  • Adjustable color depth (2–256)
  • Side-by-side before/after preview
  • 100% local processing

How it works

The tool decodes every frame using the browser's ImageDecoder API, redraws the frame with your text overlaid using HTML Canvas text rendering, and re-encodes the result as a GIF. Per-frame delays and color quality are preserved.

Use cases

  • Classic Impact-style meme captions
  • Tutorial GIFs with step labels
  • Social media stickers with branding
  • Accessibility captions for GIFs
  • Educational content with on-screen annotations
  • Watermarking GIFs with your handle

Tips

For classic meme styling, leave the font as Impact-style bold and use a thick black outline (3–5 px). For subtle captions, drop the outline to 0 and choose a contrasting color. Use line breaks in the text field for multi-line captions.
