Step 2. Add Watermark

Click the stamper icon in the toolbar to open the watermark window. Here, you can add a text or image watermark to your GIF.

* Add a Text Watermark

Type your text in the blank space and click the “+” button. Then, you can press the settings icon to insert symbols, adjust text font, size, and color, and add shadow to the text. Also, you can customize the text location, opacity, and rotation. Press "OK" to save the change.

* Add an Image Watermark

Click the folder icon to “Load image” from your file folder or “Choose a preset image”. Then, you can adjust the image size, location, opacity, and rotation. Hit the "OK" button to save the change.

You can also add both text and image watermarks to a GIF.

Step 3. Export GIF as Video

Currently, WonderFox's "Converter" module does not support GIF export. But you can export the GIF file as a video first. Just click on the format image on the right to select a video format and press "Run" to export the watermarked videos. Then convert a watermarked video to a GIF in "GIF Maker".

*Before exporting the watermarked videos, you can click the bottom ▼ button to specify an output path.

Step 4. Convert Video to GIF

Return to the home page and select “GIF Maker” > “Convert Video to GIF”. Add the watermarked file to GIF Maker and adjust the parameters as you see fit (10 fps -30 fps and high quality is recommended). If you don't know how to set these parameters, just leave them default since WonderFox HD Video Converter Factory Pro is capable of analyzing the source video and fitting the output parameters intelligently. Finally, click “Create GIF” to save the watermarked file in the original GIF format.

Part 2. How to Add Watermark to GIF Online?

For users who want to add watermarks to GIFs without downloading any software, trying online tools is a good option. Among various online GIF editing tools, I recommend EZGIF.COM. It is handy to use and offers many customization features.

Step 1. Visit https://ezgif.com/overlay.

Step 2. Click “Choose file” or enter a direct image URL to import a GIF file into the website. Then click “Upload!”.
