Online Services to Add Text to an Animated GIF

You've probably used an animated GIF on your social networks (Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, etc.) and sometimes you come across the problem of having an animation that doesn't represent what you want to express at that moment. For this reason, we're going to list websites that allow you to add text to an animated GIF, so you can give the video a conceptual finish.

In addition to adding text to the animation, the platforms let you share the GIF directly to your social networks from their interface.

EZGIF.com

Let's start with EZGIF.com, a free website that lets you add text to an animated GIF and which we've already talked about in NeoTeo. The process is quite simple: first you'll need to add the file in WebP, GIF, APNG, MNG, and FLIF format, weighing up to 35MB (you can also insert it from a URL). Once the GIF is loaded, a frame will appear. From there you determine the font size, font style, border, color, and alignment. After writing the text, you just need to click on “Set”. You can add as many frames as you want (each window holds a phrase). When you finish, click on “Create GIF button” and you'll be able to download the GIF file with the added text. The platform also has other services: converting videos to GIF, optimizing GIF, splitting GIF, etc.

GIFGIFS.com

We continue with GIFGIFS.com, another website that lets you add text to an animated GIF. After adding the GIF from the internet (via a URL) or from your computer, you can customize the text you'll insert (font type and size, color, shadows, etc.). After updating it, you can download the animated GIF with the inserted text. The utility also allows you to perform other tasks on the GIF: resize, optimize, invert, crop, split GIF, etc.

Gifntext

Gifntext is one of the best GIF editors on the list, along with EZGIF. From your computer you can add a GIF up to 100MB. Then, on the left, you'll see the editing tools: add image, text, color, use brush and eyedropper, among other options. The text-adding service has the following tools: change the font color, text style, and enable the option to show text per frame (to determine in which frame you'll show the text). When you're done, you can download or share it on your social networks.

Kapwing

We'll finish with Kapwing, a very good online platform for editing images and videos. Its add text to animated GIF service is very good. What stands out from the other listed websites is its large number of tools to customize text: color, text style, font size, bold, underline, animate the text, apply a background, etc.
