How it works

How to make a number counter animation.

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

  1. 1

    Set your numbers

    Type where the count starts and where it ends: 0 to 10,000, 10 down to 0, 0 to 2.5 with a decimal. Add a prefix or suffix such as $, % or K, and a label like Followers.

  2. 2

    Choose how it moves

    Roll turns each digit like an odometer; Count ticks through the numbers. Set how long it counts, from 1 to 60 seconds, and whether it slows into the final number or keeps a steady pace.

  3. 3

    Pick the look

    Six looks and four typefaces, or set the number and background to any color: green or black if you'll remove the background in your editor. 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, usually in a few seconds. No account, no watermark.

When a counter isn’t enough

The free counter is the starting point.

Here you get a clean number on a background. In Rescroll you describe the graphic you actually want — “count up to $12,400 as I say it, then show the month as a bar chart, in my brand colors” — and it's designed from scratch on your own video. Attach your logo, your fonts or a screenshot and it matches them. Not right yet? Ask for the change in the chat.

The basics

What is a number counter animation?

A number counter animation is a short video of a number counting up or down from one value to another: 0 to 10,000 followers, $0 to $50,000 in revenue, 0 to 100%.

Editors lay it over a video so a statistic lands harder than a still number would. A figure that climbs on screen holds the eye for the seconds it takes to arrive, which is why you see counters in milestone posts, growth recaps, explainers and ads.

This maker builds one from the numbers you type. There are two motions: Roll, where each digit turns on its own wheel like an odometer, and Count, where the whole number ticks over like a digital display.

In your editor

Put the counter on your video.

An MP4 has no transparent background, so the counter 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 counter in CapCut

Download the counter 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 counter in Premiere Pro

Put the counter 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 counter in DaVinci Resolve

Place the counter 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 counter in Final Cut Pro

Connect the counter 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.

How to make a number counter in After Effects

To build one from scratch: add a Slider Control to a text layer (Effect → Expression Controls), Alt- or Option-click the stopwatch on Source Text and enter Math.round(effect("Slider Control")("Slider")), then keyframe the slider from your first number to your last. Commas need an extra expression, and the slider stops at 1,000,000, so bigger numbers need a workaround such as a Point Control. Or skip all of it: make the counter here and drop the MP4 into your comp, keying the green with Keylight.

Questions

Number counter animation: your questions, answered.

What is a number counter animation?

A number counter animation is a short video of a number counting up or down from one value to another: 0 to 10,000 followers, $0 to $50,000 in revenue, 0 to 100%. Editors lay it over a video to make a statistic land harder than a still number would, in milestone posts, growth recaps, explainers and ads.

How do I make a number counter animation?

Type the start and end number into the counter maker at the top of this page, choose Roll or Count, pick a look and a frame shape, and press Download. You get a 1080p MP4 in a few seconds, made in your browser, with no sign-up and no watermark.

Is there a watermark?

No. The MP4 you download contains only your counter.

Can I change the color of the number and the background?

Yes. Under Look, the number and the background each have a color picker, and they work with any of the six looks. Green, black and white backgrounds are one tap, for removing the background later in your editor.

How do I add a number counter in CapCut?

Make the counter here on a green background and download it. In CapCut, put it on the track above your video, select it, open Video → Remove BG → Chroma key, pick the green with the color picker and raise Strength until the background disappears. The number is then overlaid on your video.

Can it count down instead of up?

Yes. Make the first number bigger than the second, 10 to 0 for example, and it counts down. For a timer that drops one number a second, set the count length to match the number of seconds and choose the Steady pace.

How big can the number be?

From 0 up to 999,999,999,999, just under a trillion, with up to two decimal places. The digits resize to fit the frame, so a long number never runs off the edge.

Can I add a dollar sign, a percent sign or K and M?

Yes. A prefix goes in front of the number and a suffix after it, up to six characters each: $, €, £, +, %, K, M, x and so on. You can also add a label, such as Followers or Revenue, above or below the number.

What's the difference between Roll and Count?

Roll turns each digit on its own wheel, like a car's odometer, with motion blur while the wheels spin fast. Count swaps the whole number from one value to the next, like a digital display. Roll reads as more polished; Count is the classic counting-numbers look and suits countdowns.

How long can the counter be?

The count itself runs from 1 to 60 seconds, and the final number can stay on screen for up to 5 more seconds. Most counters work best at 3 to 5 seconds; the longer lengths are for countdowns. A longer clip takes longer to render.

Do I need After Effects?

No. In After Effects a counter means a text layer, a Slider Control, an expression and keyframes, plus more expressions for commas or numbers past a million. Here you type the number and download the finished clip.

Is the counter 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 counter with a transparent background?

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

Is my video uploaded anywhere?

No. The counter 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 counter 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.
