About JUMI Ad Animator
A free, browser-based tool for making animated banner ads, frame by frame.
JUMI Ad Animator is a free online tool that lets anyone create animated display and social ads in minutes, with no sign-up, nothing to install, and no watermarks on what you make. Everything happens right in your browser.
What the tool does
You build an ad as a series of frames. Each frame is a slide that holds on screen for a time you choose, and together they tell a short story: the hook, the offer, the call to action. The default Cut style shows each slide cleanly, exactly the way most ad-network banners behave, and keeps file sizes small. A Smooth style is there when you want elements to glide between frames.
On the canvas you work with real elements:
- Text and buttons: headlines, subheads and call-to-action buttons with full control of font, weight, colour and corner radius.
- Shapes and masks: rectangles, rounded shapes and ellipses, plus shade overlays that keep text readable over photos.
- Icons and logos: a searchable icon library, and your own logo as a proper layer.
- Your own images: upload photos or artwork and use them as backgrounds or elements.
- Ready-made templates: start from a finished three-frame ad for retail, real estate, travel, SaaS, events or restaurants and make it your own.
You can design at one size or build a whole campaign set at once. Standard Google Display sizes are built in, from the 300×250 medium rectangle to the 970×250 billboard, along with social sizes for posts, stories and feeds, and any custom dimensions you type. A design made at one size can be copied and automatically fitted to every other size in the set.
When you are done, export the format your platform wants: an HTML5 banner package for ad servers, an optimised animated GIF for display networks, MP4 video for social platforms, animated WebP for your own site, or a static PNG or JPG. A target-size control tunes GIF exports toward common ad-network weight limits.
Why it's free
Banner ads are one of those jobs that lands on everyone's desk sooner or later, and the traditional answer is heavyweight design software with a learning curve to match. We wanted something different: a genuinely free, instant tool that runs in any browser and is approachable enough for a first-time advertiser, yet quick enough for a designer banging out a campaign set. It is free for everyone, with no paywall and no trial to expire.
Your work stays private, too. Projects auto-save to your own browser as you go, and your images and designs are never uploaded to a server.
Who it's for
- Marketers producing display campaigns across many sizes and networks.
- Small business owners making their own promotions without a design budget.
- Designers who need fast, clean banner sets without heavyweight tooling.
- Agencies and freelancers turning around client ads and social creatives.
- Anyone who needs a GIF, video or banner for a website, newsletter or event.
The company behind it
Ad Animator is made by JUMI Ltd, a UK software company built around one idea: work smarter, build better. We make products for many different industries, some free, some paid, and behind them sits a small team with deep roots in creative direction, marketing and law. That mix shows in the work: tools that look good, read clearly and take compliance seriously. Ad Animator and its sibling JUMI PatternMaker are the browser-based design corner of a wider family.
And to be clear about this one: Ad Animator is free, and it isn't a trial or a teaser. No account, no install, no watermark.
Our commitment
Whatever you create in Ad Animator is yours to use, personally or commercially. We will always keep the core tool free, watermark-free and private-by-default, and we're continually adding new features based on what the community asks for.
