# Text Animation > Text Animation makes animated text online: typing, scrolling and handwriting GIFs, paper cut-out and match cut effects, chat screenshot mockups and speech bubbles. ## How to use 1. Open the tool for the clip you want from [all Text Animation tools](https://textanimation.org/tools): moving text, paper cut-out and match cut effects, chat screenshot mockups or speech bubbles. 2. Replace the sample text, pick a style, colours and frame, and watch the live preview. 3. Download a GIF, an MP4 or a PNG. The tools themselves use no credits. 4.
