How to make a typing text GIF

  1. Type or paste your words into the Text box. Press Enter to start a new line.
  2. Pick a font, a text size and a speed.
  3. Choose the text and background colors.
  4. Press Download GIF.

Fonts, speed and cursor

Typewriter and Code give every letter the same width, like a real typewriter or a terminal window. Sans and Serif look more like a text message or a headline.

Speed is letters per second. Around 10 looks like a person typing. At 20 or more it looks like a computer printing a line.

The cursor blinks twice after the last letter, then the GIF starts again. Turn it off if you only want the words to appear.

Size and colors

Pick 400, 600 or 800 px wide. The GIF gets taller as your text wraps onto more lines, so one short sentence makes a banner and a paragraph makes a taller image. You can type up to 400 characters.

For a terminal look, use green text on a black background with the Code font. For a chat or note look, use dark text on white.
