Question 1

How do I make a number counter animation?

Accepted Answer

Type your target number, then style it. Pick a light or dark theme, add a label, an optional prefix and suffix, and one of twelve animated emojis. The counter animates from zero up to your number. Hit export and Krumzi renders it as a video right in your browser. No signup needed.

Question 2

How do I add a counting up animation to a video?

Accepted Answer

Export the counter here as an MP4, then drop it onto your timeline in any editor (Premiere, CapCut, Final Cut, DaVinci, or Krumzi's own video editor) and place it wherever you want the number to count up.

Question 3

Can I make a number counter increase animation for Instagram or TikTok?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Export the MP4 and upload it straight to your post or reel. The free tool renders at 1920x1080 in landscape. If you want a square or vertical version, crop it in any editor or build one in the full Krumzi app.

Question 4

Is this counter animation generator really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it's free and there's no signup. The export has a small Krumzi badge in the corner. To remove the badge and unlock more control over your counter, design it in the full Krumzi app on a paid plan.

Question 5

Can I get a counter GIF instead of a video?

Accepted Answer

The tool exports an MP4. If you specifically need a GIF, run that MP4 through a free converter like ezgif or CloudConvert. We use video because it stays crisp and the file size is smaller than a GIF.

Question 6

What's the difference between a counter animation and a count up animation?

Accepted Answer

They mean the same thing: a number that animates from one value to another over time. People also call it a counting animation, a number increasing animation, or a numbers counter. This tool counts up from zero to the number you set.

Question 7

Can I customize the colors and font of the counter?

Accepted Answer

You can switch between a light and dark theme, set the label, add a prefix and suffix, and pick from twelve animated emojis. Custom brand colors and fonts aren't part of the free tool. For those, design your counter in the full Krumzi app.

Question 8

What size does the animated counter export?

Accepted Answer

The free tool exports a 5-second MP4 at 1920x1080 (1080p), 60fps. For square or vertical versions sized for Reels and TikTok, build your counter in the full Krumzi app, which supports more formats.
