Free GIF downloads

Export as many bubble GIFs as you want at no cost, at 128 × 128, 160 × 160 or 320 × 320 px, or a 240 × 96 px strip, always without a watermark. GIF transparency is 1-bit, so check a transparent bubble on the background where you will use it.

Pair the bubble with a typed message

To show the message that follows, make a typing text GIF or a silent MP4 for video: the typing makers export a free GIF up to 1280 px on the longest edge (about 15 seconds) or silent MP4 up to 1080p (up to 60 seconds).

Frequently asked questions

Is this an official Apple iMessage or WhatsApp feature?

No. typinggif is an independent browser tool and has no affiliation with Apple, iMessage, WhatsApp, or Meta. The presets style a standalone three-dot bubble animation in familiar light and dark color schemes.

Can I download the typing bubble as a video instead of a GIF?

Not from this maker: it exports GIF only. If you need video, the typing text makers export a silent MP4 up to 1080p and up to 60 seconds long.

Do I need an account to remove watermarks?

No. These bubble exports are watermark-free and do not require an account.

Who can I contact about exports or credits?
