Ready-made end slides to download

A “thanks for watching” clip is the few seconds at the end of a video that thank the viewer, show who made it and hint at what comes next. Here you make one from a template with your own channel name and sign-off, then export it as an MP4 to add to the end of your edits, or as a GIF for a post or a comment.

Choose an end card design, type “Thanks for watching” or “Thank you for watching” in Text, add your handle and a line such as “new videos every Friday”, and press Export video. Your logo and music stay on your computer while it is made, and there is no watermark on the end of your video.

Hitting a subscriber milestone instead? The thank you followers designs are made for that.

Thanks for watching or thank you for watching?

“Thanks for watching” is relaxed and suits vlogs, gaming and tutorials. “Thank you for watching” is a touch more formal and reads well at the end of a course lesson, a church service stream or a company video. Neither is more correct; match how you speak in the video itself.

A few sign-off lines that work under it:

  • “See you next week.”
  • “Part two is up now.”
  • “Tell me in the comments what to try next.”
  • “The End” (for a short film or a story)

Adding the end card to your videos

Put the MP4 on your timeline after the last shot in whatever editing app you use, desktop or phone. Keep it short, five to ten seconds, so viewers who stay are not kept waiting. Many video platforms let you place clickable end-screen elements over the final seconds; leave some calm space in the design if you use them.

Vertical clips

For short-form vertical video, keep the words in the middle of the frame. Apps lay their own buttons and captions over the right-hand side and the bottom, which can hide text placed near the edges.

Thank you for watching my presentation

If you are ending a recorded talk or a slide deck rather than a channel video, an end slide is the better fit. The animated thank you slide is the same idea in the shape of a widescreen slide, and the thank you for listening version suits a lecture or a podcast.

Thanks for watching questions

How long should a thanks for watching clip be?

Five to ten seconds. Long enough to read your name and the next step, short enough that it does not feel like padding.

Can I use my own music in the end card?

Yes. Add a song file from your device under Music. Use music you have the right to use, because platforms may mute or claim tracks you do not own.

Can I make a thanks for watching GIF?

Yes. Choose GIF after Export video. GIFs are silent and loop, which suits comments, chats and blog posts.

Will it work for vertical videos?

Yes. Switch Format to Vertical 9:16 and the design fills a phone screen.

Is there a watermark on the end card?

No. The clip is yours, free, with no logo of ours on it and no account needed.

Can I make a “The End” card instead?

Yes. Type “The End” in Text; it works well at the end of a short film, a story or a family video.
