How to turn a logo into an animation
- Select the Logo motion.
- Upload your logo (PNG or JPG). A flat logo on a plain background, with the icon large and the name below it, works best.
- Tick the box confirming you own the logo or have permission to use it.
- Press Make my video. Download the 5-second MP4 in about a minute and drop it into your editor as an intro or outro.
What a good logo animation is used for
- A 5-second intro or outro for YouTube, TikTok or Reels.
- A moving logo for a website hero or an email header (export the MP4 to GIF in any converter).
- A pitch deck or event screen loop.
- A shop or café menu screen.
The model picks one motion that suits the icon: animals turn their heads or roar, vehicles take off, steam rises from cups, shapes spin. Add a short direction in the tool, like "the lion roars" or "the leaf unfurls", to steer it.
What happens to the letters in my logo
Your logo's own name and letters are kept as they are and stay readable, as in all three examples above. The video never adds new words, slogans or watermarks beyond the small free-tier mark. Very small taglines can blur at 480p — HD (720p) keeps fine text sharper.
Only animate logos you own or have permission to use. We don't animate other companies' trademarks.

Frequently asked questions
Is it really free?
Yes. You get 10 free credits every day — enough for 2 five-second videos — with no account and no card. Free videos are Standard quality with a small watermark. Credit packs start at $9.90 for 100 credits (valid 12 months, no subscription); Pro is $9.90/month for 120 credits.
Can it make my logo animal roar or move?
Yes. A lion, bear, eagle or similar mascot usually turns its head or opens its mouth on its own; type "the lion roars" in the extra direction box to make it more likely.
Will it change my brand name or colours?
No. The prompt keeps the logo's shape, colours and existing letters, and adds no new text. If a result looks off, try again — a failed or blocked video is refunded automatically.
Which file and shape work best?
A square PNG or JPG of at least 512 px with a plain background. The video is square (1:1) by default; pick 16:9 for a YouTube intro.
Can I animate a famous brand's logo?
No. Only logos you own or have permission to use.
How long does it take?
Most 5-second videos are ready in 40–90 seconds. 10-second and Max quality videos can take up to 3 minutes. You can keep using the page while it works.
