When smooth.video fits better

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.

When Visme fits better

You make whole presentations, infographics and reports, with charts built from data, interactive publishing, forms and a team that approves the brand. smooth.video makes the animated pieces, not the document.

How it works

  1. Open smooth.video and pick a chart, stat or slide template, or an empty canvas at any size.

  2. Type your numbers and text, let the numbers count up, add images, and animate each element in turn.

  3. Export an MP4 or a GIF for your deck, or a transparent WebM to put over video.

Questions

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. A chart here is made of shapes you size by hand and numbers you type, which can count up as they appear. It suits a handful of figures, not a dataset.

Is there a watermark?

No, and every download is free.
