Why use this tool
A caption turns an ordinary reaction GIF into your own joke. This tool reads every frame of the GIF, draws your text on all of them, and builds a new GIF. The work is done in your browser, so the GIF is never uploaded.
Tips for best results
- Smaller widths make much smaller files. 320 px is fine for chats.
- Short text is easier to read in a moving picture.
- Use a thick outline when the GIF has bright or busy scenes.
- Very long GIFs lose some frames to keep the file a sensible size.
Frequently asked questions
Why can it not open my GIF?
It needs a browser that can read the frames of a GIF. The latest Chrome, Edge, Safari and Firefox can. Also check that the file is a real GIF, not a video.
Will the new GIF be bigger than the original?
It can be. Choose a smaller width or a faster speed to bring the file size down.
Can I turn a video into a GIF meme?
Not here. This tool starts from a GIF.
Is my picture uploaded?
No. Everything happens in your browser and your picture never leaves your device.
