# thankyou.video

> Make a thank you video, GIF or animated end slide: pick a template, add photos, your words and a song. Free, no sign-up, no watermark, nothing uploaded.

thankyou.video is a thank-you video maker that runs in the browser. The visitor picks a template for the occasion, adds their own photos, video clips, words and a song from their device, chooses vertical 9:16, square 1:1, portrait 4:5, landscape 16:9 or a short 16:9 slide, and the file is encoded on their device as an MP4, a looping GIF or (for slides) a PNG still. Nothing is uploaded; there is no account, no fee and no watermark. It does not host videos, send email or collect clips from other people: the visitor downloads the file and sends or posts it themselves.

## Questions about thank-you videos

### How do I make a thank you video?

Pick a template, press Add photos or clips to add your pictures and clips, write your message in Text, add a song under Music if you like, then press Export video and Download video. It all happens in your browser and takes a few minutes. The thank you video ideas go into more detail.

### Is thankyou.video free?

Yes. Every template and every export is free, with no account, no trial and no watermark on the finished video, GIF or slide.

### Are my photos and videos uploaded?

No. Your browser reads the files from your device and makes the video there. Nothing you add is sent to us or stored on a server, which is why it suits photos of children, patients and private events.

### Can I make a thank-you GIF instead of a video?

Yes. Press Export video and choose GIF for a silent, looping file that plays in chats, emails and slides. MP4 keeps the music. The thank you GIF page has ideas and sizes.

### Can I make an animated thank-you slide for a presentation?

Yes. Choose Slide 16:9 under Format for a short 16:9 clip that loops cleanly, then save it as an MP4 or GIF, or a PNG still. See the thank you slide page for inserting it into PowerPoint, Google Slides and Keynote.

### What should I say in a thank you video?

Say what the person did and what difference it made, in one or two sentences, then sign it from whoever it is from. Specific beats grand: “thank you for staying late to help me with fractions” lands better than “you’re the best”. See the thank you message ideas for examples.

### How long should a thank you video be?

Thirty to sixty seconds for a personal card or a social post, two to four minutes for a group video with many messages, five to ten seconds for an end slide. Shorter is usually kinder to the viewer.

### Can I add music or my own voice?

Yes. Music has built-in tracks, or press Add music to choose a song file from your device, and the music can fade in and out. You can also record a spoken thank-you with your microphone; it stays on your device. GIFs never carry sound.

### Which size should I choose?

Vertical 9:16 for phones, Stories, Reels and TikTok; Square 1:1 or Portrait 4:5 for feeds; Landscape 16:9 for a TV, a classroom screen or YouTube; Slide 16:9 for the end of a presentation. Change it any time with Format.

### Can several people add messages to the same video?

Not directly: there are no shared links or uploads. One person collects the clips by WhatsApp, email or a shared folder, then adds them all here. The group thank you video guide includes a message you can send to everyone.

### Does it work on iPhone and Android?

Yes, in Safari, Chrome and other modern browsers on phones, tablets and computers. On a phone the finished file can go straight to the share sheet; the iPhone guide shows where it saves.

### Will my work be saved if I close the page?

Yes, in this browser. Projects are saved as you go and listed on the projects page, so you can come back later on the same device and browser to finish or make a second version.

### Can businesses and charities use it?

Yes, for customer, client, donor and volunteer thank-yous. It makes the file only; there is no mailing list, CRM or email sending, so you attach or upload it with the tools you already use. See thank you for your business and the donor thank you video.
