Free follow button animation maker

Type your username, pick a color and download a follow animation as a 1080p MP4: a fingertip taps Follow and the button turns to Following with a tick. Free, no sign-up, no watermark.

How it works

How to make a follow button animation.

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

  1. 1

    Add your profile

    Type your username and, if you like, a display name. The avatar takes its initials from them, and Avatar ring gives it a solid or gradient ring, or none.

  2. 2

    Set the button

    Type what the button says before and after the tap: Follow and Following to start with, up to 14 characters each. Pick the accent color, and keep the fingertip that taps the button or turn it off.

  3. 3

    Choose the layout and the look

    Pill is a compact chip; Card is a small profile card with a follower count that goes up by one. Set its position and size, then pick one of six looks, or a green background if you'll lay it over a video. Four frame shapes: 9:16, 16:9, 1:1 and 4:5.

  4. 4

    Download the MP4

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

Ready-made versions

Start from the one you came for.

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

Follow animation for Instagram

A white chip with a gradient avatar ring and a blue Follow button, on a green screen in a 9:16 frame. Made for Reels and Stories.

Follow animation for TikTok

A dark profile card with an @username and a red Follow button. One tap, and the follower count rolls from 24,999 to 25,000.

When a follow button isn’t enough

The free follow button is the starting point.

Here you get a clean follow chip on a background. In Rescroll you describe the graphic you actually want, such as “when I say follow, bring my profile card up beside me, tap the button and roll my count over to 10K”, and it's designed from scratch on your own video, placed around you and timed to the word you say. Attach your logo or a screenshot and it matches them. Not right yet? Ask for the change in the chat.

The basics

What is a follow button animation?

A follow button animation is a short clip of a Follow button being tapped: a profile chip with a username appears, a fingertip presses Follow, and the button changes to Following. Creators lay it over a video at the moment they ask viewers to follow, so the ask is seen as well as heard.

This maker builds one around your own username. The avatar is a disc with your initials, both of the button's texts are yours to type, and one accent color runs through the button, the avatar and the tick. Choose the compact pill, or the profile card, which also shows a follower count going up by one.

Before you download, put the chip where it won't cover your face or your captions: Position, Alignment and Size set that here. In a 9:16 frame the chip keeps 14% of the height away from the top edge and 20% away from the bottom, because apps cover those strips with their own captions and buttons.

In your browser. Nothing is uploaded.

In your editor

Put the follow button on your video.

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

How to add a follow button in CapCut

Download the follow button 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 follow button in Premiere Pro

Put the follow button 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 follow button in DaVinci Resolve

Place the follow button 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 follow button in Final Cut Pro

Connect the follow button 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

Follow button animation: your questions, answered.

What is a follow button animation?

A follow button animation is a short clip of a Follow button being tapped: a profile chip with a username appears, a fingertip presses Follow, and the button changes to Following. Creators lay it over a video at the moment they ask viewers to follow.

How do I make a follow button animation?

Type your username into the follow button maker at the top of this page, set the button's text and accent color, choose Pill or Card and press Download. You get a 1080p MP4 made in your browser, with no sign-up and no watermark.

How do I add the follow button to my video?

Set the background to green and download the clip. In your editor, put it on the track above your video and remove the green with chroma key, then line the tap up with the moment you ask people to follow.

Should I use a green or a black background?

Green. The chip is a solid surface with light and dark parts, and a Screen blend on black would turn its dark parts see-through. Keyed out of green, the whole chip stays solid over your footage.

Can I change the username and the button text?

Yes. The username takes up to 24 characters and the display name up to 28. Both button texts are yours as well, up to 14 characters each, so Follow and Following can be Subscribe and Subscribed, or the same words in any language you write in.

Can I use my own profile picture?

No. The avatar is a colored disc with your initials, taken from your display name, or from your username if there isn't one. The maker doesn't take image uploads. To show a photo, place it over the avatar in your editor.

What's the difference between Pill and Card?

Pill is a compact chip: the avatar, your username and the button in one row, sized to sit in a corner or along the bottom of a video. Card is a small profile card with the avatar on top, your name under it, and a follower count that goes up by one when the button is tapped.

Can it show my follower count?

Yes, on the Card layout. Type the count into Followers before the tap, from 0 to 999,999,999, and the tap adds one: 9,999 becomes 10,000. It's a number you type, not one read from an account. Turn off Show a follower count to hide it.

Can I change the color of the follow button?

Yes. Accent color sets the button, the avatar and the tick together. Chip color switches the surface behind them between the look's own panel, white and near black, and Avatar ring adds a solid or gradient ring around the avatar.

How long is the follow animation?

4.5 seconds as it opens. The chip arrives in the first second, the tap lands at 1.5 seconds, the button has finished changing a second later, and the clip then rests there. Rest at the end sets that rest from 0 to 5 seconds, which makes the whole clip 2.5 to 7.5 seconds long.

Does the follow animation have sound?

No. The MP4 is video only. Add a click, a pop or a chime in your editor, on the frame where the fingertip lands.

Is this the official follow button from Instagram or TikTok?

No. It's a generic chip drawn for this tool, with no logo on it, and Rescroll isn't affiliated with or endorsed by Instagram, TikTok or any other platform. There are versions styled to suit each one, linked on this page.

Is the follow button 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 follow button with a transparent background?

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

Is my video uploaded anywhere?

No. The follow button 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 follow button 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.
