Free phone ringing animation maker

A phone in the middle of the frame, ringing with an incoming call and buzzing in short bursts, and nobody picking up. Download it as a 1080p MP4. Free, no sign-up, no watermark.

The basics

What is a phone ringing animation?

A phone ringing animation is a clip of a phone showing an incoming call, with the screen pulsing and the phone buzzing, to tell the viewer that someone is calling. It's a quick way to set up a scene in a skit, a story or an explainer without filming a real phone.

This page opens on a phone that rises into the frame and rings for six seconds with a call from Unknown Caller. Rings spread out from the silhouette, the accept button nudges, and the phone shakes in short bursts. Nobody answers, so the clip ends while it's still ringing.

Change the caller's name to whoever the scene needs, and set Rings for to how long the moment should last, anywhere from 1 to 20 seconds. If someone should pick up after all, change Then to Answered.

How it works

How to make a phone ringing animation.

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

  1. 1

    Type who's calling

    Enter the caller's name or number and the line under it, such as mobile or work. Pick initials or a silhouette for the picture, and its color.

  2. 2

    Decide what happens

    Choose how long it rings, from 1 to 20 seconds, and whether the call is answered, declined or keeps ringing. Answered calls can show a timer counting up.

  3. 3

    Choose the screen and the look

    Fill the frame with the call screen, or show it on a phone that can vibrate. Then pick one of six looks, or your own text and background colors.

  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.

Incoming call

A call screen that rings for three seconds, then gets answered: the buttons change and a call timer starts.

When an incoming call video isn’t enough

The free incoming call video is the starting point.

Here you get a call screen on a background. In Rescroll you describe the moment you want — “as I say ‘and then my landlord called’, show a phone ringing beside me with his name on it, and decline it when I laugh” — and it's designed from scratch on your own video, placed around you and timed to the exact word you say. Not right yet? Ask for the change in the chat.

Questions

Phone ringing animation: your questions, answered.

How do I make a phone ringing animation?

This page opens on one: a phone ringing for six seconds with nobody answering. Type the caller's name, set how long it rings and press Download for a 1080p MP4.

Can the phone vibrate while it rings?

Yes. With “Phone vibrates” on, the phone shakes in short bursts while it rings. It's an option of the On a phone layout, since a full-screen call screen has no phone to shake.

Can the phone ring without anyone answering?

Yes. That's the Keeps ringing option under Then, which this page starts on. The clip ends while the phone is still ringing, after 1 to 20 seconds of your choice.

Can I put the ringing phone over my own video?

Yes. Set the background to green, download, and remove the green with chroma key in your editor. On a green background the phone rises in from below the frame instead of fading in, so its edges stay clean.

Is the incoming call video 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.

Is my video uploaded anywhere?

No. The incoming call video 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 incoming call video 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.
