Type a search and download it typing itself into a search bar, with a click on the button and results loading underneath, as a 1080p MP4. Free, no sign-up, no watermark.
How it works
Four steps, about a minute, and nothing to install.
1
Write what the bar types, up to 60 characters, and the faint placeholder it shows before that. Turn on suggestions for a list that opens under the field as it types.
2
Set the typing speed, from 4 to 30 characters a second. Then pick a mouse pointer, a finger tap or the Enter key to send it, and whether results load afterwards or the field simply rests.
3
Pill or rounded, in the look's color, white or dark, with an arrow, a word or no button. Pick one of six looks and an accent color for the button, the caret and the focus ring.
4
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.
Ready-made versions
Each one opens its own maker with the settings filled in. Change anything, then download.
When a search bar animation isn’t enough
Here you get a search bar on a plain background. In Rescroll you describe the graphic you want, such as “type ‘how do I fix a slow laptop’ as I ask it, then open my website on the answer”, and it's designed from scratch on your own video. Attach a screenshot or a saved web page and it matches them, and ask in the chat for any change.

The basics
A search bar animation is a short clip of a search field typing a query by itself and then sending it, as if someone were searching for it on screen. Editors use it to introduce a topic, to pose the question a video answers, or to make a joke out of what somebody would search.
This maker draws the field in the style of a search engine without copying any of them: a rounded field with a magnifier, a blinking caret and an arrow button in your accent color, with no company's logo. The query types at an uneven, human pace, a mouse pointer clicks the button, and three placeholder results shimmer in underneath.
Short searches read best, because the viewer has a second or two to take them in. A long one still works: once it reaches the end of the field it scrolls, the way a real search field does, so nothing spills out of the bar.
In your editor
An MP4 has no transparent background, so the search bar animation comes ready to key. Set the background to green and remove it with chroma key.
Download the search bar animation 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.
Put the search bar animation 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.
Place the search bar animation 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.
Connect the search bar animation above your footage in the timeline. From the Effects browser, drag the Keyer effect onto it; it finds and removes the green by itself.
