A GIF with top and bottom meme captions in Giffiti, with each caption on its own track

A caption turns a clip into a joke, a reaction or a how-to. Giffiti treats text as a first-class layer, so you can place it, style it and animate it like anything else.

Meme captions in one click

Choose Title Text or Bottom Text and the caption lands in the classic spot with a bold outline. Type your line and you’re done.

Style it your way

  • 41 fonts in every weight, with letter spacing and line spacing controls
  • Stroke in any colour and width
  • Shadow, a box behind the text, and overall opacity
  • All caps, alignment and size

Make it move

Pick an animation from the list:

  • Typewriter types the line out
  • Word by word reveals one word at a time
  • Pop, slide in and bounce bring the whole line in
  • Per-letter drop, rise, pop and fade animate each letter on its own

For finer control, set keyframes for position, scale, rotation, opacity and how much of the text is revealed.

Pictures and stickers too

Add image overlays and move, scale and rotate them right on the canvas, with snap guides to line things up. Blend them with 16 blend modes and fade them in and out. Your sticker library starts empty and fills up with your own images: import them, drag them in, or paste with ⌥⌘V.

Questions

Can I make a classic top-and-bottom meme?

Yes. The Title Text and Bottom Text presets place bold, outlined captions in the usual spots. Change the font or style afterwards if you like.

Which fonts can I use?

41 fonts in every weight they come in, including meme favourites like Impact and a range of sans, serif, handwritten and monospaced families. 27 of the families come with Giffiti.

Can text appear one letter at a time?

Yes. Choose typewriter, or a per-letter effect where each letter drops, rises, pops or fades in on its own.
