Hey everyone! 👋
We built this tool because we wanted a fast, effortless way to celebrate small (and big) startup wins.
If you’ve seen our earlier forum thread, you already know how it started — when @abod_rehman nailed the tagline: “It feels like turning LinkedIn updates into mini TikToks.” And that’s exactly the vibe we went for.
Big thanks to everyone who jumped into the discussion and shared feedback ❤️ — especially those who tested it early and suggested new features.
✨ The Animation Builder is completely free — no signup barriers, no watermarks. Just choose a template, upload your screenshot, and export your video in under a minute.

Let’s make startup wins fun again 🦄 🎬

@abod_rehman @juliayugo Can we suggest custom font uploads down the road? That'd be essential for brand compliance.
@mohsinproduct thanks for the suggestion! 🙌
Right now we’re using fonts from the Google Fonts library — that way we don’t need to deal with licensing issues, and users get instant access to a wide range of styles.
We picked fonts with very different looks — serif, mono, and sans — so even if your brand uses a specific style, you’ll likely find a close match.
Allowing custom uploads would add complexity, and our main goal is to keep the tool as simple and fast as possible 💜

awesome. I'd love to give it a try!
@nastassia_k thank u ☺️
Sat down and tried it today, and honestly it's a good tool for minor use cases such as celebrating anniversaries, minor milestones etc.
However the template options, such as font, animations etc. are very limited, restricting vision-to-reality process. A good feature could be an option to let users upload their own fonts, animations (allowed formats) and so on, which will help users build their posts with existing resources available.
Also, if the video elements can be edited like how normal video editors work, that would be super cool to have.
But it's a developing tool as of now, so hopefully these features come across soon, great job by the team! 👏
@mrinalbhatt Thank you for the detailed feedback! 🙌
We aimed to make a tool you can use in 2–5 minutes — no design skills needed.
But you’re right, we’ve already heard a few requests for more creative control, and that’s super helpful. We’ll think about adding more flexibility in the future while keeping the simplicity 💜
Such a clever angle, Julia!
Founders already have great stories; they just need the right format to make people stop scrolling. This hits right at that sweet spot between content and attention.
@nosheen_kanwal Awesome insight — and so true! 💯
That’s exactly what we wanted to enable — effortless storytelling without design stress 🎬💜

Cool concept 👏 , Are you thinking of adding support for different aspect ratios or social media formats in future ?
@farhan_nazir55 Thanks a lot, Farhan! 🙌
For now, we focused on formats that work best for LinkedIn and X, since that’s where most founders share their updates.
But yes — we’re definitely considering adding vertical formats for Stories and Reels in the future, especially if people keep using the tool actively 🚀🎬
