You can put a caption over any image or video you add, but there's no library of meme templates: bring your own picture.

Can my GIF have sound?

No, a GIF file can't hold sound. For an animation with music, export an MP4: the audio you added is included.

Is there a limit on text or images?

No. Add as many texts, images and shapes as the animation needs.

Can I import Figma designs?

Not directly. Export the pieces you want to move as PNG and drop them in, or bring a layered PSD to get each layer as its own element.

No. smooth.video exports MP4, WebM, GIF and images.

Is there a limit on projects?

No. Keep as many as you like in your browser, and save any of them as a .smooth file.

The GIF isn't a meme: a product announcement, an animated banner, a sticker for a newsletter. It needs to be bigger than 500 pixels, carry more than one line of text, and come out clean.

You're on Windows, Linux or a Chromebook, or you just want to open a tab, animate a title or a logo, and export it without creating another account.
