Add Text to GIF (Captions, Memes, Watermarks)

Add text overlays to your GIFs directly in the browser without uploading to any server. Create memes, add captions, or apply watermarks with full control over styling and positioning.

Use quick templates for common styles: Meme (large text at top), Subtitle (bottom text with background), or Corner Tag (small watermark). Or customize everything: font size, color, stroke/outline, and background strip.

Position text anywhere with the 9-position grid. All processing happens locally using FFmpeg WebAssembly, keeping your content private. Export to GIF, WebP, or MP4.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I add multiple lines of text?

Yes, press Enter in the text box to create multiple lines. All lines will be positioned together.

Why does text look blurry?

Try increasing font size or stroke width. WebP output typically produces sharper results than GIF.

Are non-English characters supported?

Basic international characters work. Due to FFmpeg WASM font limitations, some special characters may not display correctly.

Can I add multiple text layers?

Currently the tool supports one text layer. For multiple layers, process the file multiple times.

Do you add a watermark?

No. Exports are completely watermark-free.

Are files uploaded to a server?

No. All processing happens locally in your browser.

Why is processing slow for large files?

Large GIFs or long videos require more processing time. Consider using shorter clips or smaller dimensions.
