GIF Text Adder

Upload a GIF, type a caption, and download it with the text burned into every frame at your chosen size, color, and position. Runs entirely in your browser.

🔒 This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your files are never uploaded to a server.

When the build passes

Example shown — upload your own GIF and caption to add text to every frame.

How it works

  1. Upload a GIF and type the caption you want to add.
  2. Choose font size, color, and top or bottom placement.
  3. Download the GIF with the caption burned into every frame.

Adding text decodes the GIF frame by frame, draws the caption onto each frame's canvas at the chosen position, then re-encodes the frames back into a GIF with the original timing and loop count preserved — the classic meme-caption look, done client-side.

FAQ

Is my GIF uploaded anywhere?

No. Text is burned into the frames entirely in your browser — your GIF is never sent to a server.

Does the caption stay on every frame, including animation?

Yes — the text is drawn onto each frame individually, so the caption stays in place and readable throughout the animation.

Can I change the font size, color, and position?

Yes — size, color, and top/bottom placement are all adjustable before you download the result.

Does adding text affect the GIF's loop or speed?

No — frame count, timing, and looping are preserved exactly; only the pixels are changed.
