Will the animation be kept?

Yes — the text is composited onto every frame and re-encoded into a new animated GIF.

Can I make a classic top/bottom meme caption?

Yes — type your caption, drag it to the top or bottom, and increase the outline so the white text stays readable. Works on animated WebP and AVIF too (exported as GIF).
