About
A visible timer overlay turns any GIF into a timed sequence — perfect for countdowns, cooking demos, workout intervals, or showing how long a process takes. This tool stamps an elapsed or countdown timer onto every frame of your animation, so viewers can track time as the GIF plays.
Features
Supports both count-up and countdown timer modes
Customizable position, font size, and color so the timer fits your design
Timer values update automatically per frame based on the GIF's actual timing
Processed entirely in your browser — no server involved, no privacy concerns

Upload the GIF where you want a timer displayed
Choose between an elapsed timer (counting up) or a countdown
Set the start time, format, and position on the frame

Pro Tips
Place the timer in a corner with a semi-transparent background strip so it stays legible without distracting from the action
For recipe or tutorial GIFs, a countdown timer helps viewers know how much time each step takes
If your GIF loops, consider resetting the timer at the loop point so it makes sense on replay
