A few good questions
Before you hit export.
Is TypeGIF really free?
Yes. No account, watermark or hidden export fee. Create up to 200 characters and download a GIF up to 5 MB.
Can I use the GIFs commercially?
Yes. You own the animations you create. The bundled Latin fonts are open source under the SIL Open Font License; Noto Sans SC also uses this license.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. Everything runs in your mobile browser. After generating, long-press the GIF to save it.
Can I animate several phrases?
Yes. Open the background and rotating text options in the editor. Add a fixed prefix and one phrase per line to create a continuous rotation.
