Meme style or subtle caption

For a classic meme, use Impact in white with a black outline: it stays readable on any background. For something quieter there are sans and serif fonts in any color. Place the text at the top, middle or bottom; you can write several lines, and long lines wrap automatically.

Accented and non-Latin characters render correctly too.

Only on part of the GIF

Set the first and last frame and the caption shows only during that stretch of the animation, popping up at the punchline, for example. Run it twice to put two different captions on one GIF.

After captioning, the GIF's palette is recalculated so your text color comes out exact. The GIF is processed in your browser, never uploaded, and gets no watermark.
