GifStream's GIF Editor gives you full control over your animation: add text overlays, apply color filters, adjust playback speed, flip direction, and resize — all on a per-frame or global basis.
No timeline software needed. Load any GIF, make your changes, preview in real time, and download the result. Everything runs locally so your file never leaves your device.
Guide: GIF Editor
When to use it
- Add a caption or text to a GIF for chats and social posts.
- Make several quick changes, like filter, speed, and direction, in one place.
- Turn a raw clip into a finished reaction GIF.
Tips
- Keep captions short and high-contrast so they stay readable on small screens.
- Finish all edits in one session; repeated re-encoding lowers color quality.
- Check the preview at the size the GIF will be shown before downloading.
Good to know
- For precise timing changes, GIF Speed offers more control.
- Remove or reorder single frames with Frame Editor.
- If the edited file is large, run it through GIF Compress.
