Easy and Efficient GIF Maker to Overlay Image on GIF
WonderFox HD Video Converter Factory Pro is your ideal software to achieve adding images to GIF in a most effortless way. But just using this program to add image over GIF would be a waste of it, because it is also capable of adding text/watermarks/logos to GIF and convert video/photos to GIF as well, or, you can even reverse GIF to a video if that’s what you need. How versatile, isn’t it? What are you waiting for then!
Before we get to the detailed tutorials, a brief introduction of the tool that is going to be used here should be made clear. WonderFox HD Video Converter Factory Pro is the recommended tool to do the adding-image-to-GIF stuff. I've used this software for quite some time and, to be honest, it is one of the rare programs that really gets me. I usually make GIFs for later uploading on Instagram, you know, the platform that doesn't support .gif format. And guess what this program can do for me? It allows me to directly make GIF into video that fits the Instagram uploading requirements without further moves. Also I can use it to trim a movie clip and turn it into GIF by its built-in GIF Maker. Now, it's time to see how it can add image to GIF while output it as video in the following steps:
Before start, please free downloadfree download the software.
Launch WonderFox HD Video Converter Factory Pro and open “Converter”. In the “Video Converter” interface, click “+Add Files” on the top left or “+” button to import the GIF. Or you can try to directly drag and drop the GIF into this program.
After the importation, click on the watermark icon on the second right below the imported GIF. And on the lower right side of the new interface, click on the folder icon beside the image to load image or choose a preset one, then hit “+” on the top right corner to add the picture to GIF. You can change the size of the image in the player screen and adjust the opacity or rotate it below the “+” icon. If you are not content with the image, you are free to delete it by hitting the trash-bin icon next to “+” and place a new one. When all is done, click “OK” to save the changes.
Tips: Try to type text to the GIF in the left area where the operations are much the same with putting images over GIF.
Before the outputting, you can alter the parameters of the file on the right side and then choose an output folder by clicking on the inverted triangle in the bottom area. After all is set, hit “Run” to export GIF as video.
If you need to save the outputted file as a GIF, go to GIF Maker on the home screen and choose “Convert Video to GIF”. In the pop-up interface, import the converted video and change the parameters on the right side if you want. Finally, click “Create GIF” to save the file as the original GIF format.
EZGIF.COM is the online tool I frequently use to make refinements to my GIF. It is free and easy to use and has a tutorial of each feature on the bottom of the webpage. The following are the detailed steps on how to overlay image on GIF.
Step 1. Visit https://ezgif.com/overlay, and click “Choose file” or “paste image URL” and then hit “Upload!” to import GIF into the website.
Step 2. After the page refreshed, click the “Choose file” to select the image and “Upload image!”.
Note: The image could be still or moving.
Step 3. After the second refresh, there will appear a GIF for you to preview the output effect. You can only change the position but not the size or any other parameters of the image. When you are done with the image, hit “Generate image!” to combine image to GIF. Finally, click “save” on the rightmost of the bottom menu to download it to your local folder.
Summary
The desktop solution boasts a richer function than the online one, while the online solution is free and light though restricted by the uploading size and some other defects. You can have a try at both and decide which one suits you the most!
