Add text to GIF simply by uploading your moving image to our editor and adding a text box directly to your design. You can pick style options from the Text pane of the library or simply type “T” on the canvas for a new text box.
Find the right font to tell your story
Having the perfect caption on GIF is just the beginning. Make sure your line catches everyone’s eye by showcasing it in the right font. Choose from our wide array of font styles, then try different font colors and sizes to find the perfect fit for your GIF. You can go for the classic meme fonts or go beyond with distinct font selections that tell more about your GIF. Canva’s handy font combinations let you discover different stylish formatting options.
