WHY USE THIS TOOL

Add Text to an Animated GIF

Place custom text over the GIF frames while preserving the animation timeline, dimensions and loop behavior.

Choose font size, placement and text color with a contrast box behind the text.

VideoHop stores your text in a temporary UTF-8 file so punctuation and percent signs are handled safely.

The overlay is rendered into every frame and the result remains an animated GIF.

HOW IT WORKS

1
Choose a GIF
Upload an animated GIF from your device.
2
Enter and style text
Type your text, then choose its size, color and position.
3
Create and download
VideoHop renders the overlay and returns the finished animated GIF.

Good to know

The text is permanently rendered into the exported GIF frames. The uploaded original is not changed.

QUICK ANSWERS

Can I use punctuation and percent signs?

Yes. User text is written to a temporary UTF-8 file and treated literally by FFmpeg.

Does adding text change the GIF dimensions?

No. This workflow keeps the source width and height.

Will the GIF still loop?

Yes. VideoHop carries the source GIF loop metadata into the output.
