How it works

How to make a GIF from text

  1. 11

    Build a focused prompt

    Combine subject, action, setting and style: “a tiny robot waves one hand on a plain blue background, pixel art”. Leave out competing camera moves and multiple scene changes. You can enter up to 600 characters.

  2. 22

    Generate the scene

    Submit the description and wait for the frames to be drawn and assembled. Keep the task open rather than submitting the same request again while it is processing.

  3. 33

    Review readability and motion

    Watch the character, background and return to the first frame. Save the GIF if the action reads clearly at chat size. If you want a different style, revise the description deliberately; a fresh generation is a separate credit-consuming task.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

AI interprets your prompt, so appearance, frame count and generation time vary. Watch the complete result and check small details before sharing.

How should I write a text-to-GIF prompt?

Use a concrete subject and one action: “a paper boat rocks gently on calm water, simple watercolor illustration”. A short scene with a stable viewpoint is easier to loop than a story with several events. Add only the details that matter to the result. The input accepts up to 600 characters.

How do I choose a style?

Write the style directly in the prompt, such as pixel art, clay-like shapes or flat cartoon colors. Pair it with a simple background and a readable silhouette. Name the visual qualities you want, such as soft colors, rounded shapes or crisp pixel edges.

What should I do if generation fails or stays pending?

Open your account to check the original task. Leave pending and under-review tasks in place while their outcome is checked. Once a task is confirmed failed, simplify the scene before starting a new one. The Pricing FAQ explains generation credits and credit returns.

Why does the result differ from my description?

The model interprets the whole scene rather than executing a drawing program. Too many objects or contradictory instructions can weaken the main action. Keep the subject and motion together in the first sentence, remove secondary details, and check whether the output conveys the intended reaction.

Can I generate readable captions inside the GIF?

For exact spelling, generate the visual reaction here and add a caption afterwards with a text-overlay editor. Keep critical labels and instructions in that separate caption layer.

Can one prompt make a long story?

This mode is designed for a short loop, not a multi-scene video. A repeated gesture or small environmental movement fits better than a beginning, middle and ending. The example has 16 playback frames after forward-and-back assembly.
