What it does.

Type it or import it

Paste your script or import a subtitle .srt — Typo splits it into timed cards and animates each one. Broadcast SRTs that start at the one-hour mark are handled too.

Animation styles built in

Zoom, typewriter, cascade, cinematic, block-drop, glitch and more — pick a look, tune the pacing, press play.

Transparent export for overlays

Export a transparent (alpha) .webm that drops over your footage in OBS or DaVinci Resolve with no green screen — or a clean MP4.

Free — no sign-up to use

Make and export free — no account, no watermark, no cost. Signing in (also free) just saves your look as a Brand Kit to reuse across tools and adds you to our newsletter.

Questions.

Is the animated-text maker free?

Yes — Typo is free and use-first — make and export with no account and no watermark. Signing in (also free) just saves your work and adds you to our newsletter. Make captions, titles, and kinetic text and export them at no cost.

What is kinetic typography?

Kinetic typography is text that animates — words that move, build, and emphasize as they appear. It is how captions, title cards, and social hooks get attention; Typo makes it in your browser, no After Effects required.

Can I export with a transparent background?

Yes. Typo exports a transparent (alpha) VP9 .webm that composites over your video in OBS or DaVinci Resolve with no keying — plus a standard MP4 if you prefer.

Does it import subtitle files?

Yes — import an .srt and Typo turns each cue into a timed animated card, including broadcast files timed from the one-hour mark.

Is there a watermark?

No. Nothing you make in Typo carries Starting Frame branding.
