You want to make sure the text box is exactly the same size as the gif so that the text will be in the center when you type it. Now with the text tool still highlighted you want to drag your mouse starting from the top left corner of your gif until a text box covers the gif and it looks like this:Īs you can see, the dashed lines and small squares around the gif show where the text box is. To understand what each of the settings in the character panel do, hover over them and it’ll tell you what they do.

When text is highlighted the following will appear at the top of the window just below the menu options: If your toolbar isn’t visible go to Window > Tools and it will appear. Some basic info before we get started - I use Photoshop CS5 and the gif I’ll be using in this tutorial was made and coloured by me following the processes laid out in my previous tutorials which you can find here.įirst things first, make sure you select the text option from the toolbar on the left. but I’ll be showing a few options that I believe to look best and that I generally use. Just like everything, everyone will have their own preferences when it comes to fonts/font style/size etc. So this is a tutorial on how to add basic subtitles to a gif such as this: Which you can see by looking at the first gifset I made ( x). I remember when I first started giffing I struggled to add text to a gif and make it look good. There are so many tutorials out there on the process of making gifs and how to colour them, but there’s so few tutorials on how to add text/subtitles to a gif.
