Impact is rendered with the condensed Anton typeface. Arial Black, Comic Sans MS, Helvetica and Arial all use Liberation Sans, so those four choices produce the same typeface. The menu shows the selected name → output font. Check the downloaded lettering, especially for non-Latin text.
GIF Meme Maker
Add top and bottom captions to one GIF or still image. The same text appears throughout an animated GIF; a still image stays still. Output is GIF, with transparent areas filled black.
What your captioned GIF contains
Choose a GIF, PNG, JPG/JPEG, or WebP file up to 20 MB. Enter at least one caption; each text field accepts up to 100 characters.
Animated GIF
The caption is applied across the animation. Source frame delays and loop settings are reused where available.
Still image
Produces a single-frame GIF with the caption; no motion is added.
Transparent areas
Filled with black. This page does not preserve a transparent background.
Caption text
Letters with uppercase forms are converted to uppercase. Text wraps at spaces; a long unbroken line may be squeezed to fit.

Animated input must meet both limits: no more than 240 frames, and width × height × frame count no greater than 60 million pixels. For example, 1,000×1,000 with 100 frames totals 100 million pixels and is too large. This page has no resize control; reduce the source animation's dimensions or frames in another editor and save a new file before uploading.
How to add text to a GIF
1
Choose the source
Select one supported image or GIF. Check the original dimensions shown after selection; this page has no output-size or crop control.
2
Enter your captions
Fill Top Text, Bottom Text, or both. Keep the wording short enough to read while the image moves.
3
Adjust the text style
Choose a font and set its size, text and outline colors, outline width, and padding. Each font option names the typeface used in the output. Check the lettering in the downloaded GIF.
4
Generate and check the result
Select Create Meme GIF to process the uploaded source. Play the completed GIF to check caption placement and legibility.
Keep captions inside the picture
The tool chooses an initial font size from the image width. This is a starting value, not an automatic guarantee that a long caption fits vertically.
| Control | Available setting | Check |
|---|---|---|
| Font size | 16–120 px | Reduce it or shorten the caption if lines overlap or leave the canvas. |
| Text and outline colors | Separate color pickers and HEX values | Check contrast over both light and dark frames. |
| Outline width | 0–10 px | A thick outline can hide small letters. |
| Padding | 10–100 px from the top or bottom edge | More padding reduces the space available to the caption. |
There is no live captioned-output preview. The completed download is the reference for final text wrapping, font appearance, and placement.
Choose between captions and animation creation
This page adds fixed captions to your existing file. It does not include templates, AI scene generation, a video importer, or a caption timeline.
Your joke depends on the existing motion
Use an animated source and a short caption that can remain visible throughout the loop. There are no separate start and end times for each line.
You need to build the animation first
Use GIF Maker for an image sequence or Video to GIF for a video clip. For animated lettering without a source image, use Text GIF Maker.
Download completed files promptly. Temporary uploads and outputs follow the service's cleanup process.
GIF caption questions
No. Top and bottom captions remain on every frame. Timed subtitles, moving text, and frame-specific captions require another editor.
Text can wrap into several lines, but it is not automatically resized to fit the image height. Shorten the text, reduce the font size, and adjust padding before generating again.
No. This page has no target-file-size setting or platform preset. Check the finished GIF's size and dimensions against the destination's requirements.
