Rescroll

Free comment reply overlay maker

Type a username and a comment and download the “replying to a comment” sticker as a 1080p MP4: it pops in, holds and can pop back out. A speech bubble or a comment row with likes, on green if you'll key it over footage. Free, no sign-up, no watermark.

How it works

How to make a comment reply overlay.

Four steps, about a minute, and nothing to install.

  1. 1

    Type the comment

    Enter the commenter's username, up to 24 characters, and their comment, up to 150. Emoji work, and @names, #hashtags and times like 4:12 take the avatar's color. On a Reply sticker you can reword the small line above the comment.

  2. 2

    Choose the style

    Reply sticker is a speech bubble. Comment row adds the time posted, a heart or thumbs-up and a like count that ticks up. Pick a light or dark card, one of six looks and an avatar color.

  3. 3

    Place and time it

    Pick one of nine positions and a size from 70% to 130%, then how long it stays up, from 1 to 60 seconds, and whether it pops out at the end. Set the background to green if it's going over footage.

  4. 4

    Download the MP4

    Press Download. The video is rendered in your browser at 1080p and saved to your device, usually in a few seconds. No account, no watermark.

When a comment overlay isn’t enough

The free comment overlay is the starting point.

Here you get a clean comment sticker on a background. In Rescroll you describe the graphic you actually want: “when I say ‘someone asked’, pop this comment up next to me and tick the likes while I answer”. It's designed from scratch on your own video, placed around you and timed to the exact word you say. Attach a screenshot of the comment as a reference. Not right yet? Ask for the change in the chat.

The basics

What is a comment reply overlay?

A comment reply overlay is a graphic of a viewer's comment placed over the video that answers it: a rounded bubble with the commenter's avatar, a small line such as “Reply to maya.codes's comment” and the comment itself. Short-video apps add one when you reply to a comment with a video. Editors rebuild it when they cut the video in another program, post it on a second platform, or want the comment to appear at a moment of their choosing.

This maker draws one in two styles. Reply sticker is the speech bubble: an initials avatar, the small line, and the comment in bold. Comment row is the comment as it reads in a comment section, with the name, how long ago it was posted, and a like that lands while its count ticks up. Both come on a light or a dark card, pop in, stay as long as you set, and can pop back out.

Quote the comment as it was written, and set the background to green before you download so the sticker keys out cleanly over your footage. In a 9:16 frame the Top, Bottom and Right positions stay clear of where apps draw their own tabs, buttons and captions.

In your editor

Put the comment overlay on your video.

An MP4 has no transparent background, so the comment overlay comes ready to key. Set the background to green and remove it with chroma key.

How to add a comment overlay in CapCut

Download the comment overlay on a green background. In CapCut, drag it onto the track above your video so it sits on top as an overlay. Select it, open Video → Remove BG → Chroma key, pick the green with the color picker and raise Strength until the background is gone. Menu names move a little between CapCut versions; look for Chroma key.

How to add a comment overlay in Premiere Pro

Put the comment overlay on a video track above your footage. From the Effects panel, drag Ultra Key onto it and click the Key Color eyedropper on the green.

How to add a comment overlay in DaVinci Resolve

Place the comment overlay on the track above your footage. On the Edit page, open Effects → Open FX, find 3D Keyer under Resolve FX Key and drag it onto the clip, then sample the green in the viewer with the Open FX overlay switched on.

How to add a comment overlay in Final Cut Pro

Connect the comment overlay above your footage in the timeline. From the Effects browser, drag the Keyer effect onto it; it finds and removes the green by itself.

Questions

Comment reply overlay: your questions, answered.

How do I make a reply to comment sticker for my video?

Type the commenter's username and their comment into the maker at the top of this page, choose Reply sticker or Comment row, pick where it sits, and press Download. You get a 1080p MP4 made in your browser, with no sign-up and no watermark.

How do I put the comment sticker on my video?

Set the background to green under Look and download the MP4. In your editor, place it on the track above your footage and remove the green with chroma key, which leaves only the sticker over your video. Steps for four editors are further down this page.

Can I make up the comment, or does it have to be real?

Use a real comment, quoted as it was written, whenever you present it as something a viewer said. An invented one is fine in a skit, a parody or a mock-up that is clearly labeled. Don't pass a made-up comment off as real, and don't use one to put words in a real person's mouth or to mislead viewers about what people think.

Does it pull comments from TikTok, Instagram or YouTube?

No. It doesn't connect to any app or account. You type the username and the comment yourself, and nothing is read from or posted to a platform.

Can I add a profile picture to the comment?

No. The avatar is a colored circle with up to two initials taken from the username. It follows the look you pick, or you can set its color with Avatar color. The maker doesn't take image uploads.

How long can the comment be?

Up to 150 characters. The text wraps and the card grows around it, and a long comment steps down in size so it takes fewer lines. Anything past eight lines is cut with an ellipsis. The username takes up to 24 characters.

Can I change “Reply to …'s comment” to my own wording or language?

Yes. The small line above the comment is a text field of up to 40 characters. Write {name} where the username should go, for example “Respuesta al comentario de {name}”, or clear the field to show the comment alone.

What's the difference between Reply sticker and Comment row?

Reply sticker is a speech bubble with the avatar, a small “Reply to” line and the comment in bold, the look of a video reply. Comment row shows the comment as it reads in a comment section: name, time posted, the text, and a heart or thumbs-up with a like count.

How does the like count animation work?

On a Comment row, type any number of likes from 0 to 9,999,999. About a second in, the heart or thumbs-up fills and the count ticks up through its last likes to land on your number. Counts are written in full up to 99,999, then shortened to forms like 128K and 1.2M.

Should I use a green or a black background for the sticker?

Green, removed with chroma key. A Screen blend on black only keeps the light parts of a picture, so the dark text on a light card, or a dark card itself, would let your footage show through. If your avatar color is green, key on a different background color, such as blue.

Where should a comment sticker sit on a vertical video?

Away from the app's own interface. In a 9:16 frame, this maker's Top position starts 10% below the top edge, Bottom stops 24% above the bottom edge and Right stops 16% in from the right edge, to leave room for an app's tabs, captions and buttons. Left and centered positions keep a margin of 7% of the frame's width.

How long does the sticker stay on screen?

As long as you set, from 1 to 60 seconds, after a pop-in of 0.8 seconds. Switch on “Pop out at the end” and it shrinks away over a last half second, so the clip ends clean. Leave it off and the clip ends with the sticker still up.

Is the comment overlay maker free?

Yes. It's free to use and free to download, with no account, no email address and no watermark on the video. There's no limit on how many you make.

What format and resolution is the video?

An MP4 with H.264 video, at 1080p in the shape you choose: 1080×1920 (9:16) for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, 1920×1080 (16:9) for YouTube, 1080×1080 (1:1), or 1080×1350 (4:5) for the Instagram feed. You can export at 30 or 60 frames per second.

Can I get the comment overlay with a transparent background?

MP4 can't store transparency, so the comment overlay comes ready to key instead. Set the background to green and remove it with chroma key in your editor. Only the comment overlay is left over your footage.

Is my video uploaded anywhere?

No. The comment overlay is drawn and encoded on your own device, using your browser's built-in video encoder. Nothing is sent to a server and there's no render queue.

Which browsers does it work in?

It needs a browser that can encode video with the WebCodecs API: current versions of Chrome, Edge and Safari, and Firefox on a computer. If your browser can't, the page tells you before you start.

Can I use the comment overlay in client work, ads or monetized videos?

Yes. The video you download is yours to use in personal and commercial projects, with no attribution needed.

Can I match my brand, add my logo or change the design?

Not in the free maker, which is deliberately simple. That's what Rescroll's AI motion graphics are for: describe the graphic you want in plain English, attach your logo, fonts or a screenshot of your style, and it's designed from scratch on your own video, placed around you and timed to the word you say. Ask for any change in the chat. It's part of the Pro, Ultimate and Scale plans.
