About the Typing Text GIF Maker
The Img Stop Typing Text GIF Maker creates an animated GIF where your text appears letter by letter, as if someone were typing it, followed by a blinking cursor. It is a simple way to add movement to a headline, a quote, a GitHub profile or a chat message.
You choose the font, text size, text and cursor colours, and a solid or transparent background. Set how fast the letters appear, how long the finished text stays on screen and whether the GIF loops. The animation is drawn and encoded in your browser.
