Updated today

The Magic Animator is a powerful feature in Bannersnack that instantly transforms static designs into eye-catching animated creatives with just one click.

Whether you start from a static template or create your design from scratch, the Magic Animator applies fully customizable animated presets to every object in your layout—bringing your banner, ad, or social media graphic to life.

The feature works in both the Editor (for single designs) and the Generator (for multiple sizes at once), making it a time-saving tool for marketers, advertisers, and designers.

Steps to Animate Your Design with Magic Animator

  1. Create or open a static design

    • Start from a static template or build your design from scratch in the Bannersnack Editor.

  2. Activate the Magic Animator

    • Click on Magic Animator in the toolbar.

    • Browse through the animated presets and select the one that best fits your creative style.

  3. Understand animation order

    • Objects are animated sequentially, starting with the last element in the Slides and Layers panel (on the right-hand side) and ending with the first.

    • To change the order, simply drag and drop layers within the list.

  4. Use Magic Animator in the Generator

    • Apply animations to multiple banner sizes at once.

    • Each layer is animated from bottom to top across all selected sizes.

    • Preview each size in real time using the animator slider.
