Not your ordinary soundless GIF
Want to elevate your GIF with audio? It’s possible with Canva’s video editor. Upload a GIF from your gallery or find free customizable templates from our collection. Then find the right sound from our pre-licensed library or apply your own audio track to the canvas, and voila! Add that last song stuck in your mind, the banger you heard from last week’s music fest, or any audio effect to your GIF, and stand out from the crowd. You’ve just created a breakthrough GIF with sound bound to go viral on your socials.
Post a pitch-perfect GIF
Add audio to GIF just the way you like it and capture your catchiest hook for all the world to hear. No need for a separate audio-editing tool! Canva’s video editor lets you see and edit your audio waveform as you add sound to GIF. Splice and trim audio, move tracks around the timeline for the perfect timing, and apply fade in and fade out. You can adjust the volume and layer different sounds easily, using ambient sound effects(opens in a new tab or window) and tunes for a multidimensional feel.
Amplify with pop elements
Complete the audio-visual experience for your online audience. Explore interesting graphic elements from our design library and mix and match them as you create GIFs with sound. Apply with moving stickers and cute icons and vectors or add text to GIF(opens in a new tab or window) with beautiful text effects. Tie everything together with dynamic transitions or exciting text animations(opens in a new tab or window). You don't have to worry about missing the beat despite all the moving elements. Select your audio waveform and apply Beat Sync to sync video and audio automatically, or create custom sound effects(opens in a new tab or window) with AI.
