A looping ticker from your own words
Type a message, set how fast it moves, and export a looping text ticker as a GIF, MP4 or PNG.
Make a scrolling GIF
The scrolling text gif generator builds the ticker from your words, so the preview you watch is the file you download.
Write or paste up to 280 characters in the scrolling text gif generator. The message runs as one line, so line breaks turn into wide spaces, and emoji stay whole as they move across the frame.
Pick a speed from 2 to 40 characters per second, then choose a clean, classic, typewriter or handwriting font, the text size, text and background colors, and a square, story or wide frame for the ticker.
Choose GIF for chats, slides and email, MP4 for video editors, or PNG for a still of the middle of your message. The scrolling text gif generator exports one full pass, ready to loop.
Try Another Kind of Text Animation
Tools from the other families: moving text, paper cut-outs and match cuts, chat mockups and speech bubbles.
Every setting in this scrolling text generator changes the moving text in the live preview before you export it.
Your message enters at the right edge, crosses the frame at a steady pace and leaves on the left, and the next pass begins the moment the last letter is gone. The scrolling text gif generator sets the loop length from the message and the speed, so a GIF repeats like a news ticker or an LED marquee sign.
The speed slider runs from 2 to 40 characters per second. Slow speeds suit a calm caption that viewers read in full, while fast speeds feel like a stock ticker or a sports score crawl. The scrolling text gif generator shows the loop length under the preview, so you know how long one pass takes.
Choose a clean, classic, typewriter or handwriting font and make the text bigger or smaller. Pick colors from a palette of amber, coral, light and dark colors, then frame the ticker as square 1:1, story 9:16 or wide 16:9, so the scrolling text gif generator fits a chat, a vertical video or a banner.
Export a looping GIF that plays anywhere images do, an MP4 for CapCut, Premiere or OBS, or a PNG still. The scrolling text gif generator gives free exports up to 720p and 15 seconds with a small textanimation.org mark, so a very long message is cut at 15 seconds; a subscription exports 1080p up to 60 seconds with no mark.
Made with a scrolling text generator, a moving line keeps a message in view without taking over the screen.

Put a moving promo line above a newsletter or along a page header. A GIF from the scrolling text gif generator plays in most email clients, where scripted marquee effects usually do not run, so the offer keeps moving in the inbox.
