Frequently Asked Questions
Is Gifify really free? What’s the catch?
Here’s the honest truth: Gifify is a freemium platform. We do have advanced, cutting-edge AI features that cost money to run, and those require a paid subscription. However, this specific "Add Text to GIF" tool is, and always will be, 100% free. No hidden fees, no locked fonts, and no watermarks. We use the revenue from our AI tools to keep this classic meme-maker free for everyone. No catch, just pure GIF-making freedom!How do I add text to a gif and move it to the right spot?
It’s super easy! Upload your image, click "Add Text", and type your caption. To move the text, simply change the X and Y coordinate numbers in the settings panel. Increasing the X value moves it right, and increasing the Y value moves it down. This gives you pixel-perfect, precise control so your text never accidentally shifts around.Can I add multiple lines of text in different places on the same GIF?
Absolutely! Gifify supports multi-text layers. You can click the "Add Text" button as many times as you want. Each text box operates as an independent layer, meaning you can give them different fonts, custom colors, and separate X/Y coordinates to put them anywhere you like.Will downloading my edited GIF add a giant watermark?
Never. We hate watermarks as much as you do. When you add text to animated gifs using Gifify, your downloaded file will be completely clean, keeping the original frame rate and animation quality fully intact.Does Gifify store or save my uploaded GIFs on your servers?
Your privacy is non-negotiable. Unlike our AI generation features which require cloud processing, this text editor works entirely inside your local browser. Your GIFs are never uploaded to our permanent storage, and we don't save copies. What happens on your screen stays on your screen.
