White box caption for GIF

Add a white box caption to GIF online free. Create white header meme / iFunny-style captions—preview and download, no signup.

What is a white box caption?

A white box caption (white header meme, white text box, or iFunny-style caption) is a solid caption panel attached above or below a GIF or image—black text on a white background by default. People search for white box meme format, gif caption maker, caption gif, and white background text meme when they want that look. This free online tool adds the panel to animated GIFs in your browser: upload, type, place top or bottom, download. It is not Impact-font text drawn on the frames (/add-caption-to-gif), not a from-scratch GIF meme generator, and not a video captioner.

Tips for white box meme GIFs

Make cleaner white header captions.
  • 01

    Keep captions short

    One or two lines read best in chat previews.

  • 02

    Raise box height for long text

    If lines wrap tightly, increase box height before shrinking the font.

  • 03

    Use a thin border

    A 1–2px separator helps the white box feel attached to the GIF.

  • 04

    Top vs bottom

    Top (white header) is the classic meme format; bottom works like a subtitle bar.

  • 05

    Need on-image text?

    For classic top/bottom Impact captions, use /add-caption-to-gif.

  • 06

    Still photos

    For non-GIF images, use /text-to-image or export a single-frame GIF first.
