Add Text Captions Over Animated GIFs (Legacy Tool)

Place custom text captions on top of animated GIF images without breaking the animation. This legacy text editor lets you add text in three positions - top, middle, and bottom - with independent font size controls for each. Choose from multiple fonts, set text alignment (center, left, right), and toggle border/shadow outlines for better readability against any background.

This tool also works with static images like JPG, PNG, and BMP - simply upload the image, enter your text, and generate the captioned result. The font size value is the maximum; text is automatically scaled down if it doesn't fit within the image boundaries.

This is an older version of our text tool, the current one can be found here.
