About the Add Text to GIF
The Img Stop Add Text to GIF tool puts a caption on an animated GIF. Type your text, choose a font, size and colour, and add an outline so it stays readable on any background – just like a classic meme caption.
Place the text at the top, middle or bottom, and it is drawn on every frame so it stays in place while the GIF plays. It all runs in your browser, with no sign-up, no watermark and no upload.
