Animated SVG maker

Make one SVG file that plays by itself in browsers with no script: shapes and words that move, turn, fade, change colour and change shape. Free, with no account or uploads.

Start from a logo that already moves and change it, then save one SVG file that plays in browsers by itself. Words are written as outlines.

Make an SVG that moves

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.

  • Lottie

How it works and help

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.

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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

What is an animated SVG?
One SVG file that plays by itself. This page writes the movement as CSS animations for position, turn, size, colour and opacity, and as SMIL for shapes that change their outline, so no script is needed.
Where does an animated SVG play?
In current browsers, on a web page or opened on its own. For a chat or a social post, save a GIF or a video from the same project instead.
What happens to words in an animated SVG?
They are written as their letters' outlines, so they look the same on every computer without the font, and cannot be selected as text.
