3D text animation
Make words solid in the site's fonts, with depth and rounded edges, fly them in on a timeline, and save a video, a GIF or an animated GLB. Free, with no account or uploads.
Start from words made solid, with depth and rounded edges, flying in. Type your own words, choose a font and how deep they are, then save it.
Make words solid and fly them in
A .riv or a Lottie plays as it is; an SVG becomes shapes you can move; a picture is placed on the artboard; a 3D model opens in the 3D editor.

A little help along the way
Follow these steps. Every option is explained underneath. Everything happens in your browser; nothing you draw or bring in is sent anywhere.
- Say what you want to makeChoose a moving logo or icon, a loading animation or an animated icon to open a small animation that already moves, ready to change. Open a file takes an SVG, a picture or a project you saved before; you can also drop an SVG on the page.
- DrawDraw rectangles, ellipses, polygons, stars and triangles, paths with the pen, and strokes with the pencil and brush. Fill closed areas with the bucket, join or cut shapes with the Shape Builder, and write words in the site's fonts.
- Animate with keysA key says what a part is like at one moment: its position, turn, size, opacity or colours. Set a key at one time and another later, and every frame between them is worked out for you.
- Choose the easingEach key says how the movement goes on to the next: Steady, Jump, Smooth, Speed up, Slow down, Speed up, slow down, Overshoot or Spring, or a curve of your own in the graph editor.
- Play itPlay the timeline to watch it. It can loop, play once or play there and back, and a work area plays only the part you are working on.
- Export itSay where it will go: social media or a video makes an MP4, a chat or an email a GIF, a website or an app an animated WebP with a clear background, and a still picture a PNG or SVG of one frame. Each file is checked before it is offered.
Questions people ask
- Which fonts can the words use?
- The fonts that come with the site. The words are drawn from their letters' outlines and made solid, so they look the same on every device and in every file.
- How do the words fly in?
- With keys on a timeline: where the words stand, how they turn and their size at each moment, with easing such as Slow down or Overshoot between keys. Change the keys, or the words, and the animation follows.
- Can I save it with a clear background?
- An animated GLB has no background of its own: a 3D viewer or a website draws the words over its own. A video has no clear background, so it is saved with the scene's background colour.
