Visme vs smooth.videoWhen smooth.video fits better
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 need an animated stat, chart or title as a video or a GIF, sharper than 1366 pixels or on a transparent background, and don't want a plan just to download it.

- Can I make memes?
- 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 put the animation in a presentation?
- Yes. Export an MP4 or a GIF and insert it into PowerPoint, Keynote or Google Slides.
- Can I import data into a chart?
- No, you type the values in. It suits a handful of figures, not large datasets.
- Is there a watermark?
- No, and every download is free.
