Meme Captions
Add text to GIF meme loops with a bold outline.
Examples
- Reaction memes
- Inside jokes
Add text to GIF places one caption on every frame of an animated GIF, so the words stay visible for the whole loop. Type up to 120 characters, set the font size from 8 to 160 px, and choose a text color and an outline color with a width from 0 to 12 px. Place the caption in the upper, middle or bottom band, then nudge it sideways or up and down with the offsets. The caption appears on all frames; showing it on only some frames is not supported.
Use this page to caption a GIF you already have. To change its size first, the GIF Resizer comes before captioning; to clear a flat backdrop, use the GIF Background Remover.
Type up to 120 characters. Short lines read most clearly on a small looping GIF, so keep the joke or label tight.

Captions, styling and limits when you add text to GIF files.
Captioning takes three steps on this page: add the GIF, type your caption and set its size, color, outline and position, then create and download. The caption is drawn on every frame.
No. A caption cannot be limited to some frames: when you add text to GIF frames here, it is drawn on every frame, from the first to the last. For a caption that appears later, a frame-by-frame editor is a better fit.
Readable captions come from contrast. Use a light text color with a dark outline, or the reverse, and raise the outline width toward 12 px on noisy frames; larger font sizes help on small GIFs.
Yes. You can add text to GIF online here with no account and no credits. The caption is rendered by a Web Worker in your browser, and processing makes no network requests.
A video editor can animate titles and time them to the frame, but it takes longer and often exports a video file instead of a GIF. This caption tool does one job: a fixed caption on every frame, saved straight back as a GIF.
Font choice is not offered; the controls cover size, text color, outline color and outline width. Keep captions short and use the outline for contrast.
The add text to GIF tool accepts GIFs up to 20 MiB, 120 frames and 1600 px per side, with up to 12 million pixels across all frames. The output can be up to 40 MiB, and each run is cut off after 60 seconds.
Prepare the GIF before you add text to GIF frames, or finish it after.
