Frequently asked questions

Where does the white bar go?

Above the animation, adding height rather than covering frames. It is the classic meme caption layout, and it keeps the picture completely unobstructed.

Does the frame get taller?

Yes, the bar is added to the canvas, so the output is taller than the source. The animation itself is not cropped or scaled.

Can I put the caption below instead?

The add text to GIF tool draws a bar across the bottom. Run a GIF through both if you want text at each end.

What if my caption is long?

The bar grows to fit the text, so a long line makes a taller block above a small animation. Keeping it to one or two lines reads best.
