How to Use the GIF Text & Meme Editor
Use this free online GIF Text & Meme Editor to add captions, meme text, subtitles, emojis, and animated text effects to GIFs. Upload a GIF, create text layers, style them, control when each layer appears, then export the final animated GIF.
- Upload your GIF by clicking the upload area, dragging and dropping a file, or pasting a GIF from your clipboard.
- Add one or more text layers for top/bottom meme captions, subtitles, reaction text, emojis, or callouts.
- Edit text directly on the canvas by selecting a layer, dragging it into place, resizing it, rotating it, or using the alignment buttons.
- Customize the caption style with system fonts, Google Fonts, fill color, stroke, shadow, opacity, letter spacing, line spacing, and text background boxes.
- Control timing per layer with the Layers & Timing panel so each caption appears only during the frames you choose.
- Add animation effects such as fade, slide, zoom, pop, pulse, shake, wiggle, blink, typewriter, rainbow, and flicker.
- Use meme presets to quickly create classic top/bottom captions, subtitles, reaction GIFs, or emoji overlays.
- Export the finished GIF when your captions, timing, and animations look right.
