What it does.

Shape, palette, motion — yours

Pick shapes, a curated palette or your own colors, density and drift. Or hit Randomize and roll a whole new look in one click.

Built to loop

Render at true 16:9, 9:16, or a 1920×1920 square master you crop anywhere — clean for a seamless stream or title background.

Matte export for Resolve

Export a luma or depth matte alongside the loop so you can key it, or build 3D-feel parallax and depth-of-field in DaVinci Resolve Fusion.

Free — no sign-up to use

Generate and export free — no account, no watermark, no cost. Signing in (also free) just saves your palettes and Brand Kit and adds you to our newsletter.

THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS

Build it once. Use it twice.

This one works on both surfaces. Make it once — put it on air, or put it in the edit.

ON AIR Behind your live screens Loop it under a Starting Soon or BRB screen so the stream never sits on a dead frame. See it → IN THE EDIT Under your titles Alpha and depth mattes export with it, so you can comp it and pull focus in Resolve. See it →

Questions.

Is the animated-background maker free?

Yes — Background 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. Generate looping backgrounds and export them at no cost.

Can I use it as a stream background?

Yes — render a 16:9 (or vertical 9:16) loop and use it as a background in OBS, or behind a webcam. Many creators use a slow, low-contrast loop so it never fights the foreground.

Does the background loop seamlessly?

Background is built around clean looping output for streams and beds, and exports a square 1920×1920 master you can crop to any aspect.

Can I use it in DaVinci Resolve?

Yes — export the loop, or a luma/depth matte, and key or composite it in Resolve. The depth matte enables 3D-feel parallax and depth-of-field in Fusion.

Is there a watermark?

No. Your backgrounds are clean — nothing you make carries Starting Frame branding.
