Frequently Asked Questions

Bob, our kitten, thinking

How do I animate text without Premiere Pro or After Effects?

If you don’t have Premiere Pro or After Effects, you can animate text easily in your web browser by using an online video or GIF editor. Online video editors like Kapwing automatically makes any text layer you want to be animate, giving you full power to choose any text font available or upload your own custom font. No downloads, installations, or payments required to make any content.

Can you animate text in Powerpoint?

es, you can animate text in PowerPoint presentations. The only thing to consider, though, is there are only four text animations in Microsoft PowerPoint: appear, fade, fly in, and float in. If you want more diverse text animations in your presentation, you can make a short animated GIF with text at Kapwing.com for free online. Equipped with a huge text font library, the ability to upload a custom font, and a wide selection of animations to select from, you can make any piece of content pop out.

Best online video service ever. And a miracle for deaf people.
[Subtitler] is able to autogenerate subtitles for video in almost any language. I'm deaf (or almost deaf, to be correct) and thanks to Kapwing I'm now able understand and react on videos from my friends :)

Spend less time learning... and more time crafting stories.
Kapwing helps you spend less time learning complex video editing platforms and more time crafting stories that will connect with your audience and customers. We've used the platform to help create engaging social media clips from our clients' podcasts and we can't wait to see how the platform simplifies this process going forward.

By the far the most user friendly software to use.
As a housewife at home looking to start a Youtube channel for fun with absolutely zero editing experience, it was so easy for me to teach myself via their YouTube channel. It takes the tediousness out of editing and encourages creativity. As long as Kapwing is around, I will be using their software.

Love this site.
As an English Foreign Language Teacher, this site helps me to quickly subtitle interesting videos that I can use in class. The students love the videos, and the subtitles really help them to learn new vocabulary as well as better understand and follow the video.

Excellent subtitling features
[It] works perfectly for me. Have been using Kapwing for a year or so, and their automatic subtitle tool gets better and better every week, it's rare that I have to correct a word. Keep up the good work!
