Rescroll

Free subscribe button animation maker

Type the button's text, pick its color and download a subscribe animation as a 1080p MP4: a pointer clicks the button, it turns to Subscribed and the bell rings. Free, no sign-up, no watermark.

How it works

How to make a subscribe button animation.

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

  1. 1

    Choose a layout

    Button is the subscribe button by itself. Channel bar adds your channel's name, an avatar with its initials and a line under the name, such as your subscriber count.

  2. 2

    Write the button

    Type what the button says before and after the click, up to 16 characters each, in any language. Pick its color, and pill or rounded corners.

  3. 3

    Set the action and the place

    Keep or drop the bell, the pointer and a like button that's pressed first. Choose one of nine positions and three sizes, and a green background if you'll lay the button over a video.

  4. 4

    Download the MP4

    Press Download. The clip is rendered in your browser at 1080p and saved to your device, usually in a few seconds. No account, no watermark.

When a subscribe button isn’t enough

The free subscribe button is the starting point.

Here you get a clean button on a background. In Rescroll you describe the graphic you actually want: “when I say subscribe, slide my channel card in under me, click the button and ring the bell.” It's designed from scratch on your own video and timed to the exact word you say. Attach your logo or a screenshot of your channel and it matches them. Not right yet? Ask for the change in the chat.

The basics

What is a subscribe button animation?

A subscribe button animation is a short clip of a Subscribe button being clicked: a pointer moves to it and presses it, the button changes to Subscribed, and a notification bell rings beside it. Creators lay it over a video at the moment they ask viewers to subscribe, so the request is seen as well as heard. It's a staple of YouTube videos, and it works the same way anywhere viewers can subscribe or follow.

This maker builds one from your own words and color. The button can stand alone or sit in a channel bar with your channel's name and its initials as an avatar, and a thumbs-up can be pressed first for a like-and-subscribe reminder. Both button texts are yours to type, so the same animation works in Spanish, German or any language you write in.

Before you download, put the button where it won't cover your face or your captions: the lower part of the frame is the usual place. Position, Alignment and Size set that here, so the button is already in the right spot when you lay the clip over a video of the same shape.

In your editor

Put the subscribe button on your video.

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

How to add a subscribe button in CapCut

Download the subscribe 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 subscribe button in Premiere Pro

Put the subscribe 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 subscribe button in DaVinci Resolve

Place the subscribe 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 subscribe button in Final Cut Pro

Connect the subscribe 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

Subscribe button animation: your questions, answered.

How do I make a subscribe button animation?

In the maker at the top of this page, choose Button or Channel bar, type what the button says before and after the click, pick its color and press Download. You get a 1080p MP4 made in your browser, with no sign-up and no watermark.

How do I add a subscribe button to my video?

In two steps. Make the button here on a green background and download it, then put the clip on the track above your video in your editor and remove the green with chroma key. Move the clip along the timeline until the click lands where you ask viewers to subscribe.

Should I use a green or a black background for a subscribe button?

Green. In most looks the pressed button and the bell are dark, and the Screen blend that drops out a black background would make them see-through as well. Chroma key on green keeps every part of the button solid.

Can I change the text on the button?

Yes. “Button says” and “After the click” each take up to 16 characters, so you can write Subscribe and Subscribed in your own language, or Follow and Following, or Join and Joined.

Can I change the color of the subscribe button?

Yes. Button color takes any color. The text on it turns white or near-black by itself, whichever reads better on your color. After the click the button goes neutral, and your color carries on in the check mark, the bell's dot and the thumbs-up. A color too close to the neutral button is swapped there for one that shows.

Does the subscribe button animation have sound?

No. The MP4 is video only, so there's no click and no bell sound. Add those in your editor, under the moments the pointer presses.

Can viewers click the subscribe button in my video?

No. It's an animation inside your video, not a working button. It reminds viewers to subscribe; they still do it with the platform's own button.

Can I add my channel name to the subscribe button?

Yes. Choose the Channel bar layout and type your channel's name, up to 28 characters, and a line under it of up to 32, such as your subscriber count, which is set in small capitals. The avatar shows the first letters of the first two words of the name. It can't show a profile picture, because the maker takes no uploads.

How long is the subscribe button animation?

5 seconds as it opens: 3.5 seconds of action, then a 1.5-second rest on the finished button. “Rest at the end” runs from 0 to 5 seconds, and with the like and the bell switched on or off the clip can be anywhere from 2.2 to 9.35 seconds.

Where should the subscribe button go in the frame?

Usually in the lower part of the frame, centered or to one side, where it doesn't cover your face or your captions. Position and Alignment give you nine places and Size gives you three sizes. In a 9:16 frame the top and bottom positions sit further in, clear of the app buttons that cover those edges.

Can I make a subscribe animation for Shorts, Reels or TikTok?

Yes. Choose the 9:16 frame under Format. In that shape the channel bar becomes a two-row card, with the name above a full-width button. For apps that have a Follow button instead, change the two texts to Follow and Following.

Is this the official YouTube subscribe button?

No. It's a generic button drawn for this tool, with no logo on it. Rescroll isn't affiliated with or endorsed by YouTube or any other platform.

Is the subscribe 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 subscribe button with a transparent background?

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

Is my video uploaded anywhere?

No. The subscribe 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 subscribe 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.
