Create eye-catching GIFs with clever punchlines or captivating captions. Easily add text to GIF images without compromising quality. Overlay text on reaction GIFs, short tutorial GIFs, or highlights from viral videos. Flixier allows you to edit GIFs without downloading them. Simply paste a GIF URL into the platform and start customizing. You can also edit existing GIFs or create your own from the ground up using the full-featured GIF editor. With over 1000 fonts and multiple text effects to choose from, you can adjust text color, size, and position with just a few clicks. Once you're done, you can animate using keyframes before sharing on platforms like TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, or messaging apps.

Get your message across with text

Convey your message by adding animated text to GIF images directly in your web browser. As GIF files lack sound, you can convey the punchline or short tutorial with captions or motion titles. Craft share-worthy animated GIFs and communicate effectively by adding a text box to your moving visual.

Try different font styles, colors, and sizes

Make sure your animated text catches everyone's eye with fully customizable options. Browse over 1000 fonts, pick the right one, and then try different colors, font sizes, weights, and even placements. You can also change the text in different frames and position it as you like.

Add moving text to your GIFs

Browse Flixier's text animation options and choose the best fit for your text. Make your text bounce, wipe, float, tilt left or right, pop, and spin, or choose from a variety of presets like spooky, pixel, glitch, tribal, vintage, or digital styles. Add character to your GIF file with a stroke or a drop shadow from the Text Style menu.

Craft new GIFs from the ground up

Turn YouTube video snippets, product showcases, new product releases, or personal footage into cool GIFs with our online GIF editor. With just a few clicks, you can cut, trim, or crop your footage, add static or moving text, and style it with emojis, stickers, or CTAs. Then, share it with your online communities, all from the full-featured GIF maker.

I like Flixier because I can use it anywhere I go and I don`t need a lot of computer requirements but great internet connection. I like how fast it is when it comes to rendering videos and still have the opportunity to continue or start another project while waiting. I appreciate the continuous updates and adjustments because it is necessary for a video editing tool.

My main criteria for an editor was that the interface is familiar and most importantly that the renders were in the cloud and super fast. Flixier more than delivered in both. I've now been using it daily to edit Facebook videos for my 1M follower page.

I found the user interface to be intuitive. I really love that you can work on other projects while a large project is exporting. The sound enhancements were very helpful to get rid of background noises and increase the quality. I would recommend this program to anyone, it just works. No crashes or buggy. For being a browser based program it really processes videos surprisingly fast.

What I like most about Flixier is the flexibility to edit the captions, both in terms of the text and the time where it starts and finish showing it. It gives you full control.

This online free program was extremely easy to use, implement, and integrate into my 9-12th grade tech classes. The projects turned out great and were easy to export. I liked having multiple ways to upload pictures. The software was also easy to understand.
