Why animate your mcdonald's logo
Build a free intro logo in the browser: upload your mark, cut it to the beat, and export 9:16 and 16:9 openers with no watermark and no software to install. Animate your logo with this brand style: a short-form video in minutes. No animator, no agency, no After Effects — just upload and ship.
⚡Free means the file, not a preview
The common pattern in logo intros is a watermarked preview that only clears once you subscribe. Here the export itself is free during the launch window: download the finished file, at full resolution, with no stamp over the mark and nothing to unlock afterwards.
⚡No software, no seat, no render farm
An intro logo does not need a compositing suite. Upload a transparent SVG or PNG, choose the background frames and a track, and the animation is generated and cut to the beat in the browser — which also means it runs on the laptop you already have, not the one with the licence.
⚡Every ratio from one source
Vertical 9:16 for Reels, Shorts and TikTok; square 1:1 for feed placements; horizontal 16:9 up to 4K for YouTube, the website hero and retail screens. All three export from the same source file, so the timing and easing stay identical and the brand never looks re-interpreted per channel.
⚡Short enough to survive retention
The default is an opener that arrives under a second and clears inside three. Every second before the content starts is a second of viewer attention spent on a logo, and the free version of that trade is the shortest one that still lands.
⚡Music that is safe to publish
Pick a track from the built-in library and the beat markers are already mapped, which removes both the licensing question and the manual beat-hunting that makes a hand-built opener drift a few frames off the cut.

Why animate your logo
Search for an intro logo free and you will find two kinds of result. The first is a template library that hands you someone else's animation and a watermark you cannot remove until you subscribe. The second is a trial of a professional compositing suite, which is free in the same way a gym membership is free in January. Neither is what the query is actually asking for, which is a finished opener built from your own mark at no cost.
The reason a free intro logo is achievable at all is that the task is small. An opener is one mark, one entrance, one hold and one track — four decisions, not a scene. Professional suites are built for the opposite problem: compositing, rigging, character work, multi-layer scenes with dozens of dependencies. Bringing that tool to a two-second mark reveal is why the project takes an afternoon instead of ten minutes.
What the free version has to get right is the file itself. A watermarked preview is not a deliverable, and a lower export resolution is a second-class render dressed up as a tier. The honest arrangement is that the export is the product: full resolution, every ratio, no stamp, free while the launch window is open, with paid tiers selling capacity for teams rather than quality for individuals.
The ratios matter more than the animation. Vertical 9:16 is what Reels, Shorts and TikTok play without cropping, square 1:1 covers feed placements, and horizontal 16:9 up to 4K covers YouTube, the website hero and retail screens. Export all three from one source file so the entry duration, beat alignment and hold length stay identical — only the frame around the mark changes, and the brand looks like one brand everywhere it appears.
Then keep it short. The single most common mistake in a self-built opener is length: the mark arrives slowly, a title card appears, a tagline fades in, and three seconds have become eight before the content starts. Every one of those seconds is viewer attention spent on a logo. Arrive under a second, hold a beat longer than feels comfortable, and clear — the free version of that trade is the shortest one that still lands.

Frequently asked questions
Is a free intro logo really free?
Yes, during the launch window. You can create and export the finished intro at full resolution, in every ratio, with no watermark and no account required to try it. Paid tiers add volume and shared seats for teams shipping assets every week — they do not gate the export or stamp the file.
What do I need to make one?
A logo file on a transparent background — SVG or PNG — and a browser. Upload the mark, choose background frames and a track, and the animation generates and cuts to the beat. There is nothing to install, no plugin to license, and no seat of editing software required at any point.
How long should an intro logo be?
One to three seconds. The mark arrives in under a second, holds for a beat, and clears. Anything longer trades viewer retention for a logo, which is a bad exchange on every video you publish. If the opener feels too short, the fix is usually a longer hold rather than a longer entrance.
Can I use the free intro commercially?
Yes. Export the finished file and use it on client work, sponsored videos, paid courses and commercial channels. The music library is pre-cleared for publication, so there is no separate licence to chase before you post — which is the part most free tools quietly leave out.
Will it look different from the paid version?
No. The animation engine, the export resolutions and the ratio options are identical; the paid tier adds capacity and shared seats for teams, not a higher quality ceiling. Free during the launch window means the same render, not a lower one.
