← All blinkie-making guides  |  Classic Maker guide

With MyBlinkie Studio, you can design an animated blinkie from scratch. Follow the sections in the Studio from top to bottom, and watch your design update in the preview as you go.

Step 1: Enter Your Text and Choose a Size

Type the message you want on your blinkie. Choose a font and text effect, then select a preset size or enter custom dimensions. Choose a border shape and click an animated border style to see how it looks.

Step 2: Customize Your Theme and Colors

Pick a color theme or select your own border, background, and text colors. Choose an animated background such as twinkling stars, moving sparkles, floating hearts, floating stars, or a shifting gradient. Adjust the animation speed to suit your design.

Step 3: Make One Blinkie or a Matching Set

Choose One Blinkie for a single GIF. To make coordinating blinkies, select A Matching Set and enter up to six labels, one per line. The set uses the same design for each label.

Step 4: Preview Your Design

Check the live preview and adjust your selections until you like the result. If you're making a set, the preview shows the first label.

Step 5: Create and Save Your Blinkies

Click Create My Animated Blinkie to generate your GIF. Save the finished blinkie to your device. For matching sets, download the ZIP file containing your coordinating GIFs.

Important: Save your GIFs rather than relying on their temporary cache URLs. Cached creations are be deleted from the server.
