Frequently Asked Questions

We have answers to the most common questions that our users ask.

How do you blur something on a GIF?

To blur something on a GIF, place a blurred overlay on top of the area you want to blur. This can be another blurred GIF, blurred picture, blurred shape – anything blurry you can use to cover a part of a GIF. Another way to blur something on a GIF is to use a blur tool and blur the certain area you want to cover in your GIF.

How do you censor part of a GIF?

With a GIF editor, you can censor part of a GIF by adding a blurred or censored bar on top of the area you want to censor. This can easily be done by adding another layer to your GIF and resizing it to cover only part of your content. Adjust the style of your censored bar to ensure you’re fully covering the part of the GIF you want to cover.

By the far the most user friendly software to use.
As a housewife at home looking to start a YouTube channel for fun with absolutely zero editing experience, it was so easy for me to teach myself via their YouTube channel. It takes the tediousness out of editing and encourages creativity. As long as Kapwing is around, I will be using their software.

Love this site.
As an English Foreign Language Teacher, this site helps me to quickly subtitle interesting videos that I can use in class. The students love the videos, and the subtitles really help them to learn new vocabulary as well as better understand and follow the video.

Excellent subtitling features
[It] works perfectly for me. Have been using Kapwing for a year or so, and their automatic subtitle tool gets better and better every week, it's rare that I have to correct a word. Keep up the good work!

Best online video service ever. And a miracle for deaf people.
[Subtitler] is able to autogenerate subtitles for video in almost any language. I'm deaf (or almost deaf, to be correct) and thanks to Kapwing I'm now able understand and react on videos from my friends :)
