What kinetic typography is
Kinetic typography is text that moves to carry meaning: words appear on the beat, scale up for emphasis, or swap to make a point. It's common in launch films, lyric videos and social ads because it reads instantly with the sound off.
Animation types in Kinetic
- Slam: one big word or line hits the frame.
- Typewriter and retype: lines type on, or a word is selected and rewritten.
- Append and stack: lines build a list or a headline.
- Compare: a before and after, side by side.
- Caption: a line with one highlighted phrase.
See them in the Kinetic text explainer and on the styles page.
How to make one
- Open Kinetic at kinetic.launchloop.tech/app and sign in with Google. Nothing to install.
- Describe what you're launching in a sentence or two, or paste your site's URL so Kinetic picks up the name, colours and copy.
- Add screenshots of the product. Kinetic places them in phone, laptop or browser frames and animates them.
- Edit like a document. Change any word, colour, scene or beat; the scene re-times itself to the music.
- Export MP4 in 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1. Rendering happens on your own computer, so nothing waits in a server queue.

Questions
Can I pick my own fonts?
Each of Kinetic's 27 styles comes with its own type pairing, and you can change colours and words freely.
Can I make lyric videos?
Kinetic is built for short product and social films, but the spoken-word template shows how lines can land with a voice or track.
Does Kinetic work on a Mac?
Yes. Kinetic runs in the browser on Mac, Windows, Linux and ChromeOS. Use Chrome, Edge or Safari 16.4 or newer. There is also a desktop app for Windows 10 and 11.
Is Kinetic free?
You can make and edit films for free, and the free trial includes 3 exports with no card. Kinetic Pro is one payment for unlimited exports: $9 for the first 100 buyers, then $19. No subscription.
Can I use the videos commercially?
Yes. The videos you export are yours, and the built-in music is synthesised in the app, so it is licence-free. Respect the rights of any images or logos you import.
