The basics

What is an emoji rain overlay?

An emoji rain overlay is a clip of emoji falling down the screen, made to be laid over other footage. Creators use it for a reaction, a celebration, a punchline that lands, or a stream alert.

This one opens on 😂, 🔥 and 😍 falling for six seconds on green. The near ones are bigger and fall faster, the far ones are smaller and slower, and each spins as it goes. On the other looks the far ones also go softly out of focus; on green, or another key color of your own like blue, they stay sharp so the key stays clean.

Loop seamlessly is on, so the rain is already falling on the first frame and the last frame runs straight into it. Repeat the clip in your editor to cover a longer stretch of video without a visible jump.

To put it on your video, see how to add an emoji animation in CapCut, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve and Final Cut Pro.

How it works

How to make an emoji rain overlay.

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.

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.

Questions

Emoji rain overlay: your questions, answered.

How do I make an emoji rain overlay?

This page opens on one. Type your own emoji into the Emoji field, up to five of them, set the amount and the clip length, and press Download for a 1080p MP4 on a green background.

How do I put emoji rain over my video?

Download it on the green background, place it on the track above your footage in your editor and remove the green with a chroma key. Only the falling emoji stay on top of your video.

Can I change how many emoji fall?

Yes. Amount goes from 1 to 10, from a light sprinkle to a downpour. Size and Speed change how big they are and how fast they fall.

Does the emoji rain loop?

Yes, with Loop seamlessly on. Every emoji makes a whole number of trips down the frame in the clip, so the last frame leads straight back into the first. Turn it off and the rain starts from an empty frame instead.

Can the emoji fall without spinning?

Yes. Turn off “Spin as they fly” and each emoji falls upright, only rocking gently from side to side.

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.

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.
