A text to GIF generator that draws the scene

Your sentence becomes a new animated GIF, not a pick from a library.

Type a scene, a character or a few words, and this tool draws a GIF from your sentence. Nothing is searched for or borrowed from a GIF library, so the result is made for you and your prompt.

You can use it two ways. Describe a scene, such as a cat typing fast on a laptop. Or write the words you want to see moving, such as the word Hello in bouncy rainbow letters. A prompt can run up to 1000 characters.

This text to GIF page has no file to upload and no template to fill in. Pick square, wide or tall, press Generate GIF, and download a looping GIF. Your first one is free, with no sign-up.

How to make a text to GIF in three steps

  1. 1

    Describe the GIF

    Type what should happen, or the words that should move. Not sure what to write? Click an idea chip, such as a rocket launching into space or snow falling on a quiet forest cabin, and the box fills in one click. Then change the words to make it yours.

  2. 2

    Pick a shape and generate

    Choose square, wide or tall, then press Generate GIF. A run usually takes about 20 to 30 seconds, and nothing needs to be installed.

  3. 3

    Check it and download

    The GIF plays on the page and loops. Look over any spelling and details, since this is AI output, then press Download to save a .gif file with no watermark.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. You get one free GIF, with no sign-up and no email. The allowance is per visitor across the whole site and does not reset, so after your GIF the next step is Download.

No. This page makes a new GIF from your prompt and takes no GIF upload. To put a caption on a GIF you already have, use the Add Text to GIF tool on this site.

Yes. Write the words in your prompt, for example the word Hello in bouncy rainbow letters. Short phrases came out spelled correctly in our test runs, but it is AI output, so check the spelling before you send it. You describe the look in the prompt; there is no font picker.

No. There is no GIF library or search. Every GIF is generated from the prompt you type.

Usually about 20 to 30 seconds. A text-only run took 19 seconds in our tests.

It loops forever: 9 frames at 200 ms each, about 1.8 seconds per loop. Square GIFs came out at 512 x 512 and wide ones at 1024 x 576 in our tests. You cannot set the length or frame rate.

No. Download saves a plain .gif file with no watermark.

Not on this page: it takes a prompt only. To animate a photo, use the Image to GIF AI page.

Say what is in the scene and what it does: a cat typing fast on a laptop, a rocket launching into space, a cartoon sun waking up and stretching. Name a style such as cartoon if you want one. For words, say how they should look, for example neon text Good Vibes flickering on a brick wall. Keep to one clear action, because the loop is only about 1.8 seconds long.

Square (1:1) is the default. Wide (16:9) gives a banner-like frame and tall (9:16) a phone-screen frame. The shape is set before you generate, so choose it first.

It goes to the AI model that draws your GIF. Your prompt and photo are only used to create your GIF and are never used to train AI models.
