How it works

How to make an emoji animation.

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

  1. 1

    Type your emoji

    Type or paste up to 5 emoji into the Emoji field. Skin tones and flags count as one.

  2. 2

    Choose the animation

    Pop springs them in and settles them, Rain makes them fall, Float up sends them rising up one side, and Burst throws them out from the middle.

  3. 3

    Set the amount, size and length

    Amount from 1 to 10, size from 50 to 150%, speed from 0.5× to 2×, and a clip from 3 to 20 seconds. Pick a look, or green to key it out.

  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.

Ready-made versions

Each one opens its own maker with the settings filled in. Change anything, then download.

Emoji rain overlay

😂, 🔥 and 😍 falling and spinning at different depths on a green screen, in a six-second clip that loops.

Heart emoji animation

❤️, 💖 and 💗 floating up the right side and swaying, like live reactions, in a six-second loop.

When an emoji animation isn’t enough

The free emoji animation is the starting point.

Here you get emoji moving on a background. In Rescroll you describe the moment you want — “rain laughing emoji the second I say ‘I can't believe that worked’, then hearts floating up beside me” — and it's designed from scratch on your own video and placed around you. Attach a screenshot of a style you like and it follows it. Ask for any change in the chat.

The basics

What is an emoji animation?

An emoji animation is a short clip of one or more emoji moving: popping onto the screen, falling like rain, rising like reactions on a live stream or bursting out from a point. Editors cut them in as a reaction, a punchline or a bit of energy over a talking head.

This maker has four animations. Pop springs each emoji in from nothing, lets it overshoot and wobble, then keeps it breathing gently. Rain fills the frame with falling emoji at different depths. Float up sends them rising and swaying up one side. Burst pops one emoji in the middle and throws copies out around it. Type up to 5 emoji and they're shared between them.

For a reaction you'll lay over footage, set the background to green in the Look panel before you download. Every emoji then sits on flat green with no glow or fade around it, so a chroma key removes the background cleanly.

In your editor

Put the emoji animation on your video.

An MP4 has no transparent background, so the emoji animation 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 an emoji animation in CapCut

Download the emoji animation 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 an emoji animation in Premiere Pro

Put the emoji animation 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 an emoji animation in DaVinci Resolve

Place the emoji animation 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 an emoji animation in Final Cut Pro

Connect the emoji animation 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

Emoji animation: your questions, answered.

How do I make an emoji animation?

Type an emoji into the maker at the top of this page, choose Pop, Rain, Float up or Burst, set the size and the clip length and press Download. You get a 1080p MP4 made in your browser, with no sign-up and no watermark.

Can I download an emoji animation for free?

Yes. Every animation here downloads free as a 1080p MP4, with no account, no watermark and no limit on how many you make.

Why do the emoji look different on another phone or computer?

Because the maker uses your device's own emoji. Emoji are drawn as text, so they come out in the emoji design of the phone or computer you make the video on: Apple's on an iPhone or Mac, Microsoft's on Windows, and on Android the set your phone comes with. Once downloaded, the video looks the same wherever it plays.

Can I use any emoji?

Any emoji your device can show, including skin tones and flags. A very new emoji may show as an empty box on an older device that doesn't have it yet. Letters work too, in the site's own typeface.

Can I animate several emoji at once?

Yes, up to 5. Pop lines them up, in two rows when that lets them be bigger, and springs them in one after another. Rain, Float up and Burst mix them at random, and in Burst the first one is the big emoji in the middle.

How do I put an animated emoji over my video?

Set the background to green in the Look panel and download. Put the clip on the track above your footage in your editor and remove the green with a chroma key. On green, nothing is drawn semi-transparent, so the key comes out clean.

Can the emoji animation loop?

Rain and Float up can. With Loop seamlessly on, every emoji makes a whole number of trips in the clip, so the last frame runs straight into the first and you can repeat it as long as you need.

Can the emoji pop in and then disappear?

Yes. Turn on “Pop out at the end” with Pop or Burst. The emoji swells slightly, then shrinks to nothing as the clip ends.

How long can an emoji animation be?

The clip runs from 3 to 20 seconds. A pop springs in at the start and then rests, gently breathing, until the end.

Can I slow the emoji down or speed them up?

Yes. Speed runs from 0.5× to 2× and changes everything at once: how quickly a pop springs, how fast rain falls and how quickly a burst flies out.

Is the emoji animation 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 emoji animation with a transparent background?

MP4 can't store transparency, so the emoji animation 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 emoji animation is left over your footage.

Is my video uploaded anywhere?

No. The emoji animation 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 emoji animation 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.
