Free month calendar animation

A month grid where the days are crossed off one after another until your date is circled. Set the two dates, pick a slash, a cross or a fill, and download a 1080p MP4. Free, no sign-up, no watermark.

The basics

What is a month calendar animation?

A month calendar animation is a clip of a calendar page where the days are marked off one by one, the way you'd cross them off a wall calendar, until a chosen date is circled. It shows a stretch of time at a glance: a 30-day challenge, the weeks before an exam, the days left until a launch or a trip.

This one opens on March 2026, crossing off 21 days from March 2 and circling March 23. When the dates span more than one month, the page turns to the next month and carries on, and a span of many months speeds up in the middle so the clip stays short.

Choose how a day is crossed off (a slash, a cross or a soft fill) and whether weeks start on Sunday or Monday. The card stays the same size from month to month, so it sits still in the corner of your video.

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

How it works

How to make a month calendar animation.

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

  1. 1

    Enter the two dates

    Pick a month and type the day and the year for where it starts and where it ends, anywhere from 1900 to 2100. The weekdays are filled in for you.

  2. 2

    Choose Flip or Month

    Flip is a desk calendar turning its pages. Month is a month grid crossing off the days with a slash, a cross or a fill, and circling the last one.

  3. 3

    Add a label and set the timing

    Type a label such as “3 days later” to show as the last date lands. Set how long it takes to get there, 1 to 20 seconds, and how long it rests on the last date.

  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.

When a calendar animation isn’t enough

The free calendar animation is the starting point.

Here you get a calendar on a background. In Rescroll you describe the graphic you want, such as “as I say it's been two weeks, flip a calendar from June 1 to June 15 beside me in our brand colors”, 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 of your style, and ask for changes in the chat.

Questions

Month calendar animation: your questions, answered.

How do I make a month calendar animation?

This page opens on one: 21 days of March crossed off, ending on March 23 circled. Enter your own two dates under Dates, change the label and press Download for a 1080p MP4.

Can the calendar cross off days across several months?

Yes. When the dates are in different months, the grid crosses off the rest of one month, turns the page and carries on in the next. A span of many months speeds up in the middle, so set Time to the last date to as long as you want it to take.

Can the week start on Monday?

Yes. Set Weeks start on to Monday and the grid puts Monday in the first column. Sunday is the other choice.

How do I make a 30-day challenge calendar?

Set the first date to the day the challenge starts and the second to 30 days later, then type something like “Day 30” into Label. The days in between are crossed off and the last one is circled as the label appears.

Is the calendar 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 calendar animation with a transparent background?

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

Is my video uploaded anywhere?

No. The calendar 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 calendar 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.
