Logo animation

Animate Your Logo with AI

Upload your logo, say how it should move, and get a logo animation built around your real mark. Intros, reveals and stings for YouTube, ads, socials and launches, editable after it renders.

Plans start at $19/month (Starter: 500 credits and 60 export minutes). Free accounts in supported countries can edit templates and export 3 minutes a month at 720p.

A 3D logo reveal: the app icon swings in as a solid gradient block, then settles above the name.

Logo animations made in MotionVid

A light-streak logo sting: two streaks orbit, ignite the icon and the name slides out beside it.

How to animate your logo

  1. 1

    Upload your logo

    Attach a PNG, JPG or SVG, or pick it from your brand kit. MotionVid animates your actual mark, not a redraw.

  2. 2

    Describe the motion

    One sentence on how it enters and the mood. Or start from a logo template below and swap your logo in.

  3. 3

    Edit and export

    Ask for "slower" or "add the tagline", then export MP4, GIF, or a transparent MOV to put over footage.

Animate my logo (attached) as a 5-second intro: a thin line traces the outline, the mark fills with my brand colour, then the name fades in underneath. Dark background.

Logo animation FAQ

Can you recommend an AI tool for animating my logo?

MotionVid is built for it: upload your logo, describe the motion in a sentence, and it makes a logo animation around your real mark and colours. You can change the timing, background or text by typing, and export MP4, GIF or a transparent MOV. Logo templates are also there if you would rather start from a finished look.

Can I animate my own logo, not a generic one?

Yes. Attach the file or pick it from a brand kit, and the animation uses your actual mark.

Can I export with a transparent background?

Yes. Export a transparent canvas as MOV (ProRes 4444) and drop it over your footage in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or Final Cut. MP4 has no transparency.

What sizes can I make?

16:9 for YouTube and websites, 9:16 for Reels, TikTok and Shorts, and 1:1 for feeds.

Do I need After Effects?

No. MotionVid writes the animation itself, and you edit it in the browser by typing what you want changed.
