How can I add text on gif?

How to add text to an already made gif (using GIMP)?

  • Answer:

    To add text to an image in GIMP you use the text tool. It's in the Toolbox. To open a GIF in GIMP click File > Open, navigate to the image file, select it then hit Open. If it's an animated GIF, each frame will be loaded as a separate layer. If you want to add text to each frame of the animation you will have to duplicate the text layer as many times as you have frames and interleave them with the other layers, then you will need to merge down each text layer to the frame layer below for each frame of the animation. To merge two layers together select the upper layer and click Layer > Merge Down. This is probably not a job for a beginner who knows little about GIMP or GIFs or computer graphics and file formats. GIMP is complex, and advanced software - you can't expect to learn how to use it in a day.
