Free Add Text to GIF Tool

An add text to GIF tool draws a caption onto every frame of an animated GIF, so the words stay visible while the animation plays. People use it for meme captions, reaction GIFs, product labels and short instructions.

1. Click Choose files and select the GIF. 2. Type your caption in Headline. 3. Set Maximum text size (px), the text color and both positions. 4. Click Create file, check every frame and click Download.

Yes. The caption is drawn on each frame at the same position for the full length of the GIF. This tool can’t show text during only part of the animation.

The size you enter is a maximum. If the caption is too wide or too tall for the frame, the tool wraps it onto more lines and lowers the size until all of it fits. Shorten the text or use a larger GIF to keep the letters bigger.

Yes. The Noto Sans SC font covers Simplified Chinese as well as English letters and numbers. Emoji aren’t supported by the font, so they may be missing from the result.

Set Vertical position to 95–100% and Horizontal position to 50% to center the caption near the bottom edge. White or cream text with the automatic dark outline gives the familiar meme look.

No. FFmpeg draws the text inside your browser tab, so the GIF and your caption stay on your device. The page only downloads the video engine and the font file from a public CDN.

Yes, it’s free without an account. The only words on the finished GIF are the ones you typed, with no SocQ watermark or logo anywhere on the frames.

Not in this tool. Every caption uses Noto Sans SC Regular, and each run adds one text block that can wrap onto several lines. For a second caption, run the captioned GIF through the tool again with new text and a new position.

Each GIF can be up to 100 MB, 60 seconds long and 4 million pixels per frame. Maximum text size accepts 8–500 px, both positions accept 0–100%, and Headline can’t be left empty.
