Have you ever wanted to easily caption a GIF without having to send it to an external website, or even have an Internet connection? Well, here you go!

The GIF Captioner is very straightforward: you open a file, choose a font size and write your caption. That's it! The generated captioned GIF file will be stored at in the same directory as the source GIF, under the name captioned_<RANDOM_STRING>.gif.

There are two ways to use this software:

The executable is available in the "releases" tab. It was generated using pyinstaller. With this method, all you need to do is download the executable and you're good to go! You'll be able to run it anytime you want.

If you're not on Windows or you simply prefer running the Captioner manually (loading times are usually a bit quicker), it's totally fine. You will only need to run pip install -r requirements.txt to download all necessary libraries first, then you'll be able to run the Captioner anytime you want by running the gif_caption.py file, like you usually do for other Python files.
