Classic White-Box GIF Meme Maker

Add clean top or bottom meme caption bars (like Reddit, Discord, iFunny, and X/Twitter GIF memes) without covering up your animation.

Draggable Text on GIF & Video

Put text directly onto any GIF or MP4 video, drag it anywhere on the canvas, and style it with Impact outlines, shadows, or custom fonts.

Multi-Frame Timed Subtitles

Add multiple text layers and set From Frame and To Frame ranges so different captions appear at exact moments in your GIF or video.

Add Text to GIF, GIF Caption Maker & Video Meme Editor

Whether you want to make a classic top-bar reaction meme or put timed subtitles on a clip, AnimTool's online GIF caption maker gives you both styles in one tool. Pick Top / Bottom White Box mode to add a clean header bar with bold centered text, or choose Direct Image Overlay to drag text freely anywhere on your GIF or MP4 video.

Want multi-line dialogue that changes as the GIF plays? Click + Add Another Caption! Each text layer has its own From Frame and To Frame timing sliders, font, color, stroke outline, and position—and you can even load custom .ttf, .otf, or .woff2 fonts.

How to Add Text or Captions to a GIF or Video

  1. Load your GIF or video: Drop an animated GIF, MP4/WebM video, WebP, APNG, AVIF, or PNG/JPG image into the caption editor.
  2. Select caption style: Choose Top/Bottom White Box for a meme header bar, or Direct Overlay to place draggable text directly on the animation.
  3. Type & style your text: Enter your caption, choose a font (Impact, Anton, Bebas Neue, Comic Neue, or custom font), set text size/outline, and pick the frame range.
  4. Render & download: Click Render Captioned Animation and download your captioned GIF or video with zero watermarks.
