Impact is the classic meme font and works great for GIFs due to its bold, easy-to-read style. For smaller GIFs, try increasing the font size to 60px or higher.
A black outline (2-3px) helps text stand out against any background color. This is especially important for white text on light backgrounds.
Avoid placing text where it covers important parts of the animation. Top and bottom placements work best for meme-style captions.
Adding text increases file size. If your output is too large, use our GIF compressor to reduce the size while keeping quality.
Yes! You can add multiple text layers with different fonts, colors, and positioning. Use the "+" button to create additional text elements and customize each one individually. Each layer can have its own font, size, color, outline, and shadow settings.
Our tool offers text outlines (stroke), drop shadows, bold, italic, and underline styling. You can customize the thickness of outlines, the offset of shadows, and choose colors for both effects. These effects help your text remain readable over any GIF background.
Simply click and drag any text element on the GIF preview to position it exactly where you want. The text will update in real-time as you move it around. This works on both desktop and mobile devices.
You can upload GIF files up to 50MB in size. For best results and faster processing, we recommend keeping files under 20MB. If your GIF is too large, you can resize it or compress it first.
No, there is no watermark. Your downloaded GIF will only contain the text you added - completely free and without any branding or limitations.
Yes! Our Add Text to GIF tool is fully responsive and works on smartphones and tablets. You can drag and position text using touch gestures. For the best editing experience on mobile, try using your device in landscape mode.
We offer 10 popular font families including Impact (classic meme font), Arial, Arial Black, Helvetica, Times New Roman, Georgia, Verdana, Comic Sans MS, Courier New, and Trebuchet MS. Impact with a black outline is recommended for the best visibility.
