Create a countdown video to share

Turn any countdown into a short animated video for group chats and social media.

Any countdown can become a short animated video: the event, its icon and the time remaining, wrapped up ready for a group chat or a story.

Make one

  1. Open the event and tap the share button at the top.
  2. Choose the video option.
  3. Pick the look you want, preview it, then save it or share it straight into any app.

Watermark

Videos are free to create and share. Free videos carry a small watermark; Premium removes it.

Sharing the countdown itself

A video is a snapshot. If you want someone to have the live countdown in their own app, staying in step with yours, send an invite link instead: see Share a countdown with family and friends.
