How it works

How to make a confetti overlay.

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

  1. 1

    Choose how it's thrown

    Cannons fire from both bottom corners, Burst explodes from the middle, and Fall showers it from the top. Set the amount, from 80 to 500 pieces, and add a second burst if you like.

  2. 2

    Pick the pieces and colors

    Paper rectangles, round sequins, curly streamers or a mix, in three sizes. Then rainbow, gold, silver, the look's own colors or two colors of your own.

  3. 3

    Set the length and the background

    Choose a clip from 4 to 12 seconds; the confetti has fallen out of the frame by the end. Add wind if you want it to drift, then pick green for chroma key or black for a Screen blend.

  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 confetti overlay isn’t enough

The free confetti overlay is the starting point.

Here you get confetti on a background, to line up yourself. In Rescroll you describe the moment you want — “when I say we just hit 100,000, fire gold confetti from behind the number and let it fall around me” — and it's designed from scratch on your own video, placed around you and timed to the exact word you say. Attach your logo or a screenshot and it matches them, then ask for any change in the chat.

The basics

What is a confetti overlay?

A confetti overlay is a short clip of confetti on a plain background that you lay over your own footage, so a win, a reveal, a milestone or a birthday gets a burst of celebration. The background is removed in your editor with chroma key or a blend mode, and only the confetti is left over the picture.

This maker throws the confetti the way it really moves. Each piece launches fast, slows in the air, then flutters down, turning over as it goes so its width narrows and widens and it catches the light on one side. Paper rectangles, round sequins and curly streamers each move a little differently, and by the end of the clip the last piece has fallen out of the frame.

To line it up with a moment in your video, put the start of the clip where the moment is: the cannons and the burst fire about a tenth of a second in, and the confetti is at its fullest about a second after that.

In your editor

Put the confetti overlay on your video.

An MP4 has no transparent background, so the confetti overlay comes ready to key. Set the background to green and remove it with chroma key, or to black and use a Screen blend.

How to add a confetti overlay in CapCut

Download the confetti 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. If you made it on black instead, set the clip's blend mode to Screen.

How to add a confetti overlay in Premiere Pro

Put the confetti 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. For a version on black, skip the key: in Effect Controls, set Opacity → Blend Mode to Screen.

How to add a confetti overlay in DaVinci Resolve

Place the confetti 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. For a version on black, set Composite Mode to Screen in the Inspector instead.

How to add a confetti overlay in Final Cut Pro

Connect the confetti 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. For a version on black, set Blend Mode to Screen in the Video inspector.

Questions

Confetti overlay: your questions, answered.

How do I make a confetti overlay?

In the maker at the top of this page, choose Cannons, Burst or Fall, set the amount, pieces and colors, pick a green or black background and press Download. You get a 1080p MP4 made in your browser, with no sign-up and no watermark.

How do I add confetti to my video?

Make the confetti here on a green background and download it, then put it on the track above your footage in your editor and remove the green with chroma key. On a black background you can set the blend mode to Screen instead.

Is this a confetti generator I can use online?

Yes. It runs entirely in your browser: you change the settings, watch the preview, and the MP4 is rendered on your own device. There's nothing to install.

Can the confetti fall from the top instead of shooting up?

Yes. Choose Fall under Throw for a shower from the top of the frame. Cannons fires it from both bottom corners and Burst throws it out from the middle.

How long is the confetti clip?

Anywhere from 4 to 12 seconds. The confetti is paced to the length you choose, so the last piece has fallen out of the frame by the end: a short clip falls briskly and a long one floats. With a second burst the shortest clip is 5 seconds.

How much confetti can I add?

From 80 to 500 pieces per throw. A second burst throws 60% as many again about a second after the first. In Fall, the amount sets how thick the shower is.

Can I use my own confetti colors?

Yes. Choose Your two under Colors and pick two colors. The maker adds a lighter and a deeper version of each, so the confetti doesn't look flat. You can also use the look's own colors.

What shapes of confetti can I use?

Paper rectangles, round sequins and curly streamers. Mixed throws all three, Paper and Sequins throw one shape each, and Streamers throws curly ribbons among paper pieces. Each comes in small, medium and large.

Can the confetti blow to one side?

Yes. Set Wind to the left or the right and the confetti drifts that way as it falls.

Will the confetti look the same every time I download it?

Yes. The same settings always give exactly the same clip, frame for frame. To throw the pieces differently, change the Arrangement number: there are 99.

When does the confetti start in the clip?

Cannons and Burst fire about a tenth of a second in, and the confetti is at its fullest about a second after that. Place the start of the clip on the moment you want to celebrate.

Is the confetti 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 confetti overlay with a transparent background?

MP4 can't store transparency, so the confetti overlay comes ready to key instead. Set the background to green and remove it with chroma key in your editor. If the graphic is light, you can also set the background to black and use the Screen blend mode. Either way only the confetti overlay is left over your footage.

Is my video uploaded anywhere?

No. The confetti 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 confetti 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.
