How the meme GIF maker works
Each template is a meme format that's already animated. You bring the photo or the words, and the meme GIF maker does the timing, the motion and the export.
- Pick a templateChoose a format from the gallery, like a swinging heart locket, a headpat or a cartoon explosion.
- Add your photo or textFill the photo slots and set the options. The live preview updates as you change things, so you see the GIF before you make it.
- Tap Make my GIFTap Make my GIF and the GIF is built in your browser, ready to download, copy or share.
Every GIF template in the gallery
- Heart locket: two photos in a gold double-heart locket that swings or opens, with an optional engraving.
- My beloved: a slow zoom into one photo inside a pink, sparkly heart, captioned “my beloved”.
- Pet-pet: a cartoon hand pats and squishes your photo, with a 112 px size for emoji.
- Flag: any image waving on a flagpole, from a gentle breeze to a storm.
- Explosion: your photo shakes, then blows up, with an optional “BOOM”.
- Speech bubble: the reaction-meme bubble across the top of any image, in white or as a transparent cut-out.
- Glitter text: 2000s-style sparkly words in Gold, Pink, Silver or Rainbow.
- Heart: your photo in a beating heart with floating hearts.
- Discord banner: an animated server or profile banner with your name and a tagline.
- Animated text: text-only GIFs in Typewriter, Bounce, Rainbow or Blink styles.
Filter by where you'll post it
Not sure which gif meme maker fits? The gallery's destination filters, such as Sized for Discord, narrow the list to templates that suit the place your GIF is going.
The locket, my beloved, explosion and heart templates make 400×400 squares that show up whole in Discord, iMessage and group chats. Flag, glitter and animated text are wider, the speech bubble keeps your image's shape, and the Discord banner comes in Discord's own banner sizes.
Your photos stay on your device
Templates run entirely in your browser. Your photos are never uploaded to a server, there's no account to create, and DropGIF never stamps a watermark on your GIF. Want to start from a video clip instead? The GIF maker turns videos into GIFs the same private way.
