Make your own here with the film template, change the words to your title or your names and save it as a GIF, or as an MP4 if you want music. Stock “The End” clips all say the same thing. Yours can say “The End… of Year 6”, “Fin: the Lake District 2026” or “The End. Thanks for watching, Grandma”, and the file is made in your browser with no watermark. Closing a talk rather than a film? The [thank you slide](https://thankyou.video/thank-you-slide) is made for presentations, and a channel sign-off sits on the [thanks for watching](https://thankyou.video/thanks-for-watching) page. ## How to make a The End GIF 1. ### Open the film template The button above opens the old-film end card in Landscape 16:9 with **GIF** offered first. Other end cards are under **Templates**. 2. ### Change the words In **Text**, keep “The End” or swap in “Fin”, “The End… for now”, your film’s title and who made it. 3. ### Choose the shape Keep Landscape 16:9 to end a film or a slideshow, or change **Format** to Square 1:1 for a chat or Vertical 9:16 for a Story. 4. ### Export it Press **Export video**, choose **GIF** for a silent loop or **MP4** to keep music, then **Download video**. ## Where a The End card works * **The last few seconds of a home movie**: a holiday, a wedding, a year in the life of the baby. * **The end of a school or club slideshow**, with the class or team name on the card. * **A reply in the group chat** when a long saga is finally over. * **The last slide of a talk** that told a story, before the questions. ## GIF or MP4? ### GIF A GIF loops on its own and plays in chats, emails and slides without a play button. It is silent, which suits the old silent-film look. ### MP4 An MP4 is smaller for the same length, keeps colours smooth and can carry a few bars of music, so use it at the end of a video you are editing. ### Adding it to your film Most video editors let you drop the MP4 on the timeline after your last clip. Keep the same shape as your film, such as Landscape 16:9, so there are no black bars. ## The End GIF questions ### How do I make a The End GIF with my own text? Open the film template, change the words in **Text**, then press **Export video** and choose **GIF**. It takes about a minute. ### Does the GIF loop? Yes. GIFs exported here loop forever, which is what chats and slides expect. ### Can I add music to the end card? GIFs cannot carry sound. Export **MP4** instead and pick a track under **Music**. ### Can I put it at the end of a slideshow or PowerPoint? Yes. Insert the GIF as a picture or the MP4 as a video on the last slide. The [animated thank you slide guide](https://thankyou.video/add-animated-thank-you-slide-powerpoint) shows the steps. ### Is there a watermark? No. The GIF and MP4 are free, with no account and no logo added. ## More ways to say thank you * [ Thanks for watching end card A personal “thanks for watching” end card or GIF, in landscape or vertical. ](https://thankyou.video/thanks-for-watching) * [ Animated thank you slide A moving closing slide for PowerPoint, Google Slides or Keynote, as MP4, GIF or PNG. ](https://thankyou.video/thank-you-slide) * [ Thank you GIF maker A looping thank-you with your own words or photo, saved as a GIF for chats and emails. ](https://thankyou.video/thank-you-gif) * [ Thank you animation maker A moving thank-you with your own words, saved as an MP4 or a looping GIF. ](https://thankyou.video/thank-you-animation) * [ How to animate a thank you slide in PowerPoint Entrance effects step by step, plus inserting a ready-made MP4 or GIF. ](https://thankyou.video/add-animated-thank-you-slide-powerpoint) * [ Thank you video templates Every template by occasion, from teachers and teams to weddings and customers. ](https://thankyou.video/templates) * [ Thank you video maker Pick a template, add photos, words and music, and save an MP4 on your device. ](https://thankyou.video/)
