Learn to animate your logo

Short, practical guides — each one takes a few minutes and ends with a link into the editor, already set up with the motion that guide used.

Guide 01

Animate your GitHub README logo

READMEs render animated SVGs inline — no GIF compression, crisp at any size. Here's how to get your own logo playing at the top of your repo.

  1. 01

    Upload your logo

    Open the editor and drop in a PNG or SVG — it's sampled into a dot-matrix model right in the browser.

  2. 02

    Pick a sweeping reveal

    A left-to-right scan reads well at README width. Tune density and speed until it feels like your brand.

  3. 03

    Copy the markdown

    Hit Share in the editor — you get a hosted animated SVG and ready-to-paste README markdown, free with a small watermark.

Guide 02

Turn your logo into a loading spinner

Every app has a loading moment. Replace the generic spinner with a small, seamless-loop animation of your own mark instead.

  1. 01

    Upload your logo

    Same first step as any LogoAnimator project: drop in a PNG or SVG.

  2. 02

    Pick a ring or pulse motion

    Looping ring and pulse animations make the best loaders — they read clearly at small sizes.

  3. 03

    Export the spinner preset

    Use the “Loading spinner” preset in the export panel: a small seamless-loop SVG, ready to drop into any app or site loader.

Guide 03

Export a logo GIF for social

SVG is the sharpest option, but some placements — social posts, Slack, Discord — need a GIF instead. Here's how to export one sized for the feed.

  1. 01

    Upload your logo

    Drop in a PNG or SVG, then pick an animation that reads well as a short, punchy loop.

  2. 02

    Pick a bold entrance

    Pop and drop animations grab attention in a feed better than a slow ambient loop.

  3. 03

    Export as GIF

    The export panel's GIF format is a Pro feature — it renders your animation as a compressed, feed-ready loop instead of an SVG.

Export a social GIF

GIF export requires a Pro plan; the animation preview itself is free.

Frequently asked questions

Is LogoAnimator free to use?
Yes — animating your logo and exporting it as an SVG is free, with no signup required. Free plans include 8 animation styles, up to 2 saved projects, and a small watermark on exports.
Can I use the exported animation in a GitHub README?
Yes. GitHub renders animated SVGs inline in markdown, so you can drop the exported file straight into your README — no GIF compression or separate hosting needed.
What animation works best for a loading spinner?
A looping ring or pulse motion reads clearest at small sizes. Use the “Loading spinner” export preset to get a seamless-loop SVG sized for app and site loaders.
Can I export my animation as a GIF?
GIF export is a Pro feature — the free tier exports an animated SVG (SMIL) only. Pro also unlocks MP4, WebM and Lottie export, plus removes the watermark.
Do I need to install anything or create an account?
No — everything runs client-side in your browser. Upload a logo, pick an animation, and export; the free SVG export doesn't require an account.
