One short GIF, repeating from start to finish — Free Online, No Upload
A GIF is only a few seconds long, but you often want it present across an entire video — a glowing border, an animated logo, falling confetti or a persistent reaction. This page explains how to loop a short GIF so it replays continuously over the full length of any clip, and how to do it locally without uploading your footage anywhere.
Burn a looping GIF over your entire video — corner or full-frame, any size, exported in your browser with no watermark.
Open the Video Overlay tool →An animated GIF carries its own loop instruction: when it reaches the last frame it jumps straight back to the first. The overlay tool takes advantage of that. It draws the video frame, then draws the GIF's current frame on top, over and over, recording the combined picture. Because the GIF is always cycling, it naturally fills however long your video runs — a three-second GIF will play roughly twenty times across a one-minute clip with no visible seam.
Timing = Whole video. This is the default. It tells the tool to keep the overlay visible from the first frame to the last, so the GIF never disappears.
Loop = on. For an animated GIF this is automatic, but the switch also matters if you swap in a short video as the overlay — with Loop on, a video overlay restarts each time it ends, behaving exactly like a GIF.
Size and position. Decide whether the loop sits in a corner (a small badge or logo) or covers more of the frame (a full-screen sparkle or rain effect). Size is a percentage of the video, so the same setting works at 720p or 4K.
Opacity. Drop the opacity for a subtle, watermark-like loop that doesn't fight the footage, or keep it at 100% for a bold sticker.
A looping animated logo in the corner brands every second of a video without a separate intro. A transparent confetti or sparkle GIF over the whole frame turns plain footage into a celebration clip. A pulsing "LIVE" or "SUBSCRIBE" badge stays visible the entire time. Streamers and editors often keep an animated frame or border looping around the picture for a consistent on-brand look.
Rendering happens in real time, so a longer video takes proportionally longer to export — about as long as the clip itself at 1× speed. If you don't need audio, switch to 2× or 4× to finish faster. Keep the GIF's own resolution reasonably close to its on-screen size; scaling a tiny GIF up to fill the frame will look soft, while a large GIF shrunk into a corner stays crisp. Everything runs locally, so your video and GIF never leave your device.
Only if the GIF itself isn't a clean loop. A GIF designed to loop seamlessly will repeat without a noticeable cut. The tool doesn't add any gap between repeats.
Yes. Set the size to 100% of width or height and the position to center. Transparent areas of the GIF let the video show through, so effects like confetti cover the whole frame.
The output size depends on the video resolution, bitrate and length, not on how many times the GIF repeats. A busy full-frame animation compresses a little less efficiently than a small corner badge.
No. The video and GIF are processed entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server at any point.
