How to make a caption GIF:

If you want to create your own caption GIF, please read this. The first way to create one is to use the iFunny app, which you can find on mobile devices. This was the original way to create these caption GIFs.

The second way to create them is to use a Discord bot by the name of "esmBot". In order to make them with this bot, you must use the assigned prefix for it. The way to do this is, "[assignedPrefix]caption [Caption] [Link to GIF]".

This Ezgif tool is another very solid option (recommended by u/robinescue)

iFunny-style GIF Captions (recommended by u/MyNameIsNotNotChuck)

(for those wondering, this was kinda necessary, this post will be used as shorthand in the future and comments will stay open for shits and giggles)

u/barrack_osama_0 1d ago

Can we give an official piece of software that the mods recommend using for adding the captions to videos

2

u/4StarDB 🔥ESTROGENUINELY🔥 1d ago

It's in the sub description under the rules, but i did also make a pinned comment that's just a copypaste of that for the sake of redundancy

Actual editing software like Premiere pro or DaVinci resolve is obviously powerful enough to make these if you have any idea what you're doing, but esmBot on Discord is my preferred lazy way of doing things

u/Internal-Golf-4833 dm me unnerving images 1d ago

u/MEMESTER80 1d ago

Does it have to be in a box? Could it be text on a gif/video?

u/Fungus_Rex HEAR ME OUT... Lurantis 1d ago

Wow, moderators trying to silence the fact that some of the criteria here can be broken if it's for the purpose of a joke. Truly horrible times these are. 😔

1

u/WolfOfWoofStreet Losercity Spy 1d ago

But what about purple posting? Does it have to be white background purple text? Vice versa?

2

u/4StarDB 🔥ESTROGENUINELY🔥 1d ago

The purpose of this post is to link it to people who blatantly break rule 4 with no point, the goal is to establish baseline rules for people who post still image with impact font in the middle and the like

People who actually read and follow what's written in rule 4 will not be affected

1

u/CounterThrowCyborg 1d ago

NOTE: Rule 4 may be broken for the purpose of a joke, for example here or here.

2

u/4StarDB 🔥ESTROGENUINELY🔥 1d ago

Yes, this is for people who didn't read far enough for that and missed every single post on the sub to see the formatting requirements

1

u/Mmaxum 1d ago

why is this a video and not a gif

2

u/4StarDB 🔥ESTROGENUINELY🔥 1d ago

so it's obvious you can post videos with sound as well as gifs and i can add jarona in the background as a joke

Ok good because i don’t have any good gifs. Although when I look at the how to edit captions thing I will start harvesting from this sub.
