Burns Every Frame
Your text is stamped onto every single frame of the GIF — so it stays visible throughout the entire animation, not just the first frame.
🎨
Font, Size & Color
Pick any text color, scale the font from small to large, and toggle a drop shadow to keep captions readable over any background.

How to Add Text to a GIF or Image

  1. Upload a GIF or image. Use an animated GIF or a browser-supported still-image format.
  2. Write and style your caption. Choose color, size, shadow, and position. You can use up to three lines.
  3. Apply and download. For GIFs, the caption is applied across the animation; still images are exported as a single edited image.

Common Questions

Can I add text to a still image as well as a GIF?

Yes. The tool accepts animated GIFs and browser-supported still-image formats such as PNG, JPG, and WebP.

Will a GIF caption appear on every frame?

Yes. Captions are applied across the animation so the text remains visible throughout the GIF.

What happens if my GIF caption is too long?

Use up to three lines. MagicPicPro reduces the effective text size as needed to help the widest line fit the image.
