Logo animation examples, ready to make your own
Explore six different ways to bring a mark to life. Choose a starting point, then fine-tune the timing, canvas and background with your own logo.
02 / orbitSVG + GIF
Geometry with momentum
A rotating entrance gives a compact symbol energy. Leave enough space around the mark so the rotation feels balanced.

03 / arcSVG only
Let the outline tell the story
Three nested arches trace into view. Stroke drawing works particularly well when the outline is part of the logo’s identity.

04 / formSVG only
Build a mark in sequence
The symbol and lettering arrive piece by piece. A longer final hold brings the separate elements back together as one identity.
Stagger in (SVG) · 1.5s animation
05 / driftSVG + GIF
A quieter kind of motion
Two flowing lines move gently up and down. With no pause between cycles, the floating effect creates a continuous rhythm.

A playful entrance
A small bounce gives a rounded symbol personality. Keep the movement brief, then let the finished mark settle.
Bounce in · 1.1s animation
Original demonstration logos, made for this collection. Applying a look keeps your uploaded logo; if you have not uploaded one, it opens the example. Stroke drawing and staggered effects need SVG input and export as SVG only.
How to animate your logo
Three steps, less than a minute
1
Upload your logo
Drop in an SVG for the full preset library, or a PNG/JPG for whole-logo animations. Files are processed locally in your browser.
2
Pick a preset and tune it
Choose from 10 animation presets and adjust duration, easing and loop count with a live preview.
3
Export SVG or GIF
Download an animated SVG for your website, or a GIF for emails, chats and social media. No watermark, ever.
Start with the destination
Choose settings for where your logo will live
A website header and an email signature need different kinds of motion. These starting configurations combine the effects and export options already available in the editor.
Website header
A brief fade and scale, played once. The original aspect ratio suits a wordmark, with a transparent canvas for your site background.

These are starting points, not platform requirements. Adapt the size and background to your destination. A one-time animation stays on its final pose; looping examples use the hold time shown. Loading indicators here are visual animations, not connected to actual loading progress.

SVG & GIF export
Animated SVG for crisp, tiny web embeds; GIF for universal support in emails and chats.
Production-ready output
The exported SVG uses plain CSS keyframes — paste it into any website, README or app.
10 hand-tuned presets
From subtle fades to stroke drawing and staggered reveals, each preset is tuned to look good out of the box.
Animated SVG vs GIF — which should you use?
Export both and use each where it works best
Animated SVG
• Tiny file size and infinitely scalable — perfect for websites and apps
• Runs as native CSS animation, always crisp on retina displays
• Supports true transparency
• Best for: website headers, loading screens, documentation
GIF
• Plays everywhere: email clients, chat apps, social media, presentations
• No code required — just drop the file in
• Larger file size; transparency has hard edges (1-bit alpha)
• Best for: email signatures, Slack/Discord, social posts
From download to display
Put your animated logo to work
Export the file, choose the right placement and check it in context. These examples cover website embeds and practical GIF settings.
Add an animated SVG to your website
Place animated-logo.svg in your site’s public assets. Also add your original, non-animated logo as logo-static.png, or change that path to your static file. The example uses the static version when a visitor prefers reduced motion.

- 1
Choose a useful size
Try 256px for a small signature or badge, and 512px for a larger placement. These values set the longest edge; the canvas ratio controls the other dimension. Inspect the downloaded file before publishing.
- 2
Match the background
For smooth-looking edges against a solid surface, use that surface’s color as the canvas background. Transparent GIFs have hard transparency edges, so they may look different from the SVG preview.
- 3
Test where it will appear
Insert the GIF into the actual page or signature and check its size and playback. Platform support varies. Keep a static version available, and choose an effect such as Pulse if you want the first frame to show the complete logo.
Before you publish
Why is there still a white box around my logo?
The transparent canvas setting does not remove a background already inside the uploaded image. Start with a transparent PNG or an SVG without a background shape, then export again.
Why do transparent GIF edges look rough?
GIF transparency is fully transparent or fully opaque; it cannot keep the soft, partially transparent edge pixels of the preview. Choose a matching solid background, or use SVG where supported.
Why can’t I download this effect as a GIF?
Stroke drawing and staggered element animation currently export as SVG only. For a GIF, switch to a whole-logo effect such as Fade & scale, Pulse or Slide reveal.
Does exporting a PNG as SVG make it a vector logo?
No. The exported SVG contains the original bitmap and its animation. Enlarging it does not create new image detail. Upload a vector SVG if you need scalable artwork.
Frequently asked questions
Is this logo animation maker really free?
Yes. All 10 presets and both export formats (animated SVG and GIF) are completely free, with no watermark and no account required.
Is my logo uploaded to a server?
No. The tool runs entirely in your browser. Your logo file is read locally, animated locally and exported locally — it never touches our servers.
What is the difference between SVG and PNG input?
An SVG logo can be animated element by element, which unlocks the stroke-drawing and staggered-reveal presets. A PNG or JPG is animated as a whole image with the 8 universal presets.
Can I use the animated SVG on my website?
Yes. The exported SVG contains standard CSS keyframes and works in all modern browsers. Embed it with an <img> tag or inline it directly in your HTML.
Why does my GIF have rough edges on transparent backgrounds?
GIF only supports 1-bit transparency, so semi-transparent pixels get hard edges. For best results, export the GIF with a solid background color that matches where you will use it, or use the animated SVG which supports full alpha transparency.
Can I animate my logo with AI?
This tool uses hand-tuned presets for predictable, brand-safe results. AI-driven custom choreography is on our roadmap — the presets here cover the most common logo animation needs today.
