Add music to your GIF online
GIFs with sound hit differently. A music track or perfectly timed sound effect makes your GIF more expressive and engaging. Add music to any animated GIF using VEED — free, online, and no software needed. GIF files don't support audio, but VEED automatically converts yours to MP4 as you export, so your sound stays intact and your GIF is ready to share anywhere. Upload your GIF to get started.
How to add music to a GIF:
Step 01
Upload your GIF
Drag and drop your animated GIF into the editor. To extend your GIF, simply add it to the timeline multiple times to loop it.
Step 02
Add your audio
Head to the Audio tab and upload your music or sound effect. You can also select a track from our stock library. Trim or move the audio track so it syncs up perfectly with your GIF.
Step 03
Export and share
Export and download your file as an MP4; that's what locks in your audio. Share your GIF on social media, messaging apps, or anywhere that supports video.

Add music and sound effects to GIF online
Drag and drop elements on the timeline; it’s that simple! Add background music or sound effects to your animated GIFs. Upload your MP3, WAV, AAC, or any audio file. Do it all online, straight from your browser.
Fine-tune your audio
Trim your track to the exact moment you want, shift the start time, and adjust the volume. Get the timing exactly right before you export. Create a reaction GIF with sound for your group chat, drop a meme into a presentation, or create content for social media.
Combine GIFs with videos
Have a video that needs a little something — a reaction, a visual punchline, a moment of emphasis? GIFs are perfect for that. Layer GIFs and video clips using our editor. Add music, sound effects, and text. VEED has all the tools you need.
