Free testimonial video maker

Paste a real customer review, set the star rating and the reviewer's name, and download it animating in as a 1080p MP4. The stars fill one by one and the words rise into place. Free, no sign-up, no watermark.

How it works

How to make a testimonial video.

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

  1. 1

    Paste the review

    Paste what your customer wrote, up to 240 characters, exactly as they wrote it and with their permission. Set the rating from 0 to 5 stars, in halves.

  2. 2

    Add the reviewer

    Type their name and their role or company. The avatar shows their initials, or turn it off. Leave either field empty and the layout closes up around it.

  3. 3

    Choose the design

    Card or Minimal, words appearing one by one or a line at a time, quote marks on or off, and a star color. Then one of six looks and a typeface.

  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.

Ready-made versions

Start from the one you came for.

Each one opens its own maker with the settings filled in. Change anything, then download.

Review animation

Five large stars filling one after another on black, with one short line from the review and the reviewer's name under them.

When a testimonial video isn’t enough

The free testimonial video is the starting point.

Here you get one review, animated cleanly on a background. In Rescroll you describe the graphic you want in plain English, “show this customer's review beside me as I read it, with our logo, and fill the stars as I say five stars”, and it's designed from scratch on your own video and timed to the exact word you say. Attach your logo or a screenshot of the review and it matches them.

The basics

What is a testimonial video?

A testimonial video is a short clip that shows what a customer said about you: their words, usually a star rating, and their name. Businesses and creators put them in ads, product videos, Reels and on their websites, so a customer's own words sit next to their pitch.

This maker animates one review. The stars fill one after another, half stars included, the review rises in word by word or line by line, and the reviewer signs off with their name, their role or company and an initials avatar. Card sets it all on a card with rounded corners; Minimal sets it straight on the background.

Use what a customer actually wrote, with their permission, and keep their words as they wrote them. Quoting one sentence of a longer review is fine, as long as it doesn't change what they meant.

Questions

Testimonial video: your questions, answered.

How do I make a testimonial video?

In the testimonial video maker at the top of this page, paste the customer's review, set the star rating, type their name and role, pick Card or Minimal and press Download. You get a 1080p MP4 made in your browser, with no sign-up and no watermark.

Is this a review video generator?

Yes, for one review at a time. Paste a review and its rating and it animates them into a short video: the stars fill, the words rise in and the reviewer's name appears. For several reviews, make one video per review and place them one after another in your editor.

Can I use a review from Google, Yelp or Amazon?

Yes, if it's a review of your own business or product and the customer is happy for you to share it. Copy their words and rating exactly. The graphic is a generic design of its own: it doesn't use any site's logo or look, and nothing here is connected to those sites.

Do I need the customer's permission?

Ask for it. A quick message saying where the review will appear is enough for most people, and it means they won't be surprised to see their name in your video. If they'd rather stay anonymous, use their first name and an initial, or leave the name empty.

Can I write my own testimonial?

No. Only use what a real customer actually wrote. Presenting a review you made up as a customer's misleads the people watching, and advertising and consumer protection rules in many countries forbid it. The text in the maker when it opens is only an example to replace.

Can I show a 4.5-star rating?

Yes. Rating goes from 0 to 5 in half steps, and a half star fills its left half. Turn on “Show the rating as a number” to set 4.5 beside the stars as well.

How long can the review be?

Up to 240 characters, which is two or three sentences. The text is sized to fit whatever its length, and a long review on a landscape frame gets a wider card. The name takes up to 32 characters and the role or company up to 40.

What's the difference between Card and Minimal?

Card puts the stars, the review and the reviewer on a card with rounded corners, with a quote mark in its top corner. Minimal sets everything centered on the background, and the shorter the review, the larger the stars.

How long is the testimonial video?

The review animates in over a few seconds, then stays on screen for as long as you set under “Stay on screen”: 1 to 8 seconds, 3 to start with. A longer review takes a moment longer to appear, so give it time to be read.

Can I put the testimonial over my own footage?

Yes. In the Look panel, set the background to green, download, and remove the green with chroma key in your editor. Nothing fades in against the green, so it keys out cleanly.

Can I hide the avatar or the quote marks?

Yes. Turn off “Initials avatar” under Reviewer and “Quote marks” under Design. Leave the name or the role empty and the rest moves up to close the gap.

Is the testimonial 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 testimonial 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.

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 testimonial 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.
