Embalo — motion graphics, in a browser tab

A free motion graphics maker that works without keyframes.

Embalo makes motion graphics from shapes and text. Each one gets a move — Pop in, Orbit, Word cascade, Draw on — and a material decides how it lands: Rubber, Jelly, Heavy or Soft. Start from a nineteen-piece package or a blank canvas, type your words once, drop your logo, and export MP4, transparent video or PNG for the edit or the stream. Nothing is uploaded.

Free · no sign-up · no watermark · runs in your browser

Opened 31 October 2026. Chrome or Edge on a computer; Safari on an iPhone or iPad. Firefox and Safari on a Mac have not been run through it yet.

What it does.

Moves instead of keyframes

Add a shape or some text and give it a move: Pop in, Orbit, Drift, Spin, Swoop, Whip, Type on, Word cascade, Draw on, Count, Fade, Pop out and more. A move is a chip on the timeline; drag it to change when it happens, drag its end to change how long. There is no graph editor and nothing to key.

A material decides how it lands

Rubber bounces, Jelly wobbles, Heavy thuds, Soft just arrives. Pick one per shape and every move it has lands that way. One Energy dial sets the pace of the whole piece, so a lively version and a calm version are the same file with one number changed.

Nineteen finished pieces, plus charts

Intro, transitions, up next, logos, lower thirds, end screen, and infographics: call-out, headline, info box, bullets, count-up and timeline. Bar and pie charts come from your numbers. Switch to Fill in, type your words, drop your logo, and Export all makes one ZIP with a folder per piece, in 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1.

Exports that drop into the edit or the stream

A flat MP4 at 30 fps. Tick Over footage · transparent and you can add the alpha MP4, RGB mattes and PNG sequences, with a READ-ME that says how to use the mattes in DaVinci Resolve or Premiere. One file saves as the file itself; several come as one ZIP. On a phone the share sheet sends the MP4 straight to Photos.

Questions.

Is it free, and is there a watermark?

It is free to use and nothing you export carries a watermark — that is a rule here, not a trial limit. You do not need an account to make a piece and export it. Signing in is free too, and only matters if you want your saved brand kit to follow you.

Does my work get uploaded anywhere?

No. Embalo draws and encodes in the browser on your own computer or phone. Your pieces are kept on that device, and File › Save a piece file writes an .embalo.json you own. Your logo and your words never reach our servers.

What does it export?

An H.264 MP4 at 30 fps in 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1. If the piece is an overlay for footage, it also exports an alpha MP4, RGB mattes and PNG sequences (one folder of colour, one of alpha), with a READ-ME. The desktop app adds one transparent ProRes 4444 or HAP Alpha file.

Which browsers and devices does it work in?

Chrome or Edge on a computer, and Safari on an iPhone or iPad, where it runs as a Home Screen app and exports to Photos. It uses the browser’s own video encoder. Firefox and Safari on a Mac have not been run through it yet, so we do not promise them.

What is a move, and what is a material?

A move is one thing a shape does over time: arrive, turn, travel, type on, count up, leave. A material is how every move on that shape lands — Rubber bounces, Jelly wobbles, Heavy thuds, Soft follows the curve with no bounce. You pick both from a list; the timing is the engine’s job.

Can I use my own colours and fonts?

Yes. Pick your brand colour and the palette builds the other roles from it, or set each role yourself; drop your logo once and every piece uses it. Text uses the house font or one of a list of common system fonts (Helvetica, Georgia, Impact and more), and a saved brand kit from your free Starting Frame account fills all of it in.

How does it fit with Struna?

Struna, the free video editor, runs the same engine in its Graphics tab, so nine of these pieces are already drawn live over your footage there. For anything bigger, export from Embalo with the alpha file and it sits over your footage in Struna, DaVinci Resolve or Premiere.
