Text GIF Maker

Text GIF Maker is a browser-based tool for turning short phrases into animated GIFs. It renders your exact text using real fonts—no AI lettering—so spelling, punctuation, and brand names stay accurate. Choose from five motion effects: typing, sliding, glitch, neon, and 3D. Customize font, text color, background, canvas size (square, landscape, portrait), and loop duration (2, 3, or 5 seconds). A live preview lets you adjust everything before exporting. The tool also offers twelve holiday templates (Black Friday, Christmas, New Year) in six languages, plus twelve everyday templates for sales, greetings, and announcements. You can add text to an existing GIF (up to 5 MB, 720px, 5 seconds, 120 frames) with the separate Add Text to GIF tool. New users get 2 welcome credits for one free generation (no watermark). Additional generations cost 2 credits each. Previewing and failed renders are free. The tool is ideal for social media posts, chat reactions, event invitations, and marketing campaigns. It supports Latin text, Chinese characters, numbers, and punctuation; unsupported characters (like many emoji) produce a clear error. Transparent backgrounds are supported (one-bit transparency). No installation required—just sign in and create.
