What the meme GIF maker does
LazyKiwi's Meme GIF Maker turns a reaction and a caption into a looping meme GIF. Pick a reaction, shocked, facepalm, slow clap, eye roll, nope and more, type the line that goes with it, and add a selfie if you want the reaction GIF to star you. The caption is drawn into the GIF, so it reads in any chat. Signing up is free, and the price is shown before you generate.
