How to use Scroll a List
- 1. Paste your list. Put one item per line into the input pane, such as film credits, a scrolling ticker message, or announcements you want animated.
- 2. Set Direction and Loop seconds. Choose which way the items scroll, from Bottom to top for movie-credits style, or Left to right for a ticker, and set how many seconds one full loop takes.
- 3. Adjust Font size, Text color and Background. Set the font size for readability, then pick the text and background colors so the animation fits the context you plan to display it in.
- 4. Review the scrolling animation. Watch the animated SVG scroll in the output panel to confirm the speed and direction look right, since this tool renders a live preview rather than a file to copy.
When to use Scroll a List
Scroll a List renders a list as an animated, looping SVG that scrolls in a chosen direction, similar to movie credits or a news ticker. Use Scroll a List whenever a plain list of items needs to move across the screen instead of sitting static.
- Creating movie-style end credits. You want a list of names and roles to scroll bottom to top like film credits for a video project or personal site. Set Bottom to top direction and adjust the loop timing.
- Building a news-style ticker for a display. You need a horizontal ticker of announcements scrolling across a lobby screen or web page. Choose Right to left direction and set the font size for visibility at a distance.
- Making an animated sponsor or credits list for a stream. A livestream overlay needs a scrolling list of sponsor names or thank-yous. Set the colors to match your stream theme and use the animation as an embedded panel.
- Demoing a scrolling marquee effect for a design mockup. You are prototyping a marquee-style component and want to see how a real list of items would look scrolling. Paste sample items and preview the animated result.

About the Scroll a List tool
Scroll a List is a free online tool that works entirely inside your web browser. Create a scrolling animation. Because the processing happens on your own device, nothing you enter is uploaded, logged or stored anywhere.
This page is one of 114 List utilities on EditSafely. Each one does a single job well, and all of them follow the same rule: your input stays on your machine.
You can shape the output with 5 settings, including Direction, Loop seconds, Font size and Text color, and the result refreshes the moment you change one. A worked example further down the page shows exactly what the tool produces for a real input.
Because nothing leaves your device, the tool is suitable for sensitive content such as internal documents, credentials or customer data. It also responds instantly, since every keystroke is handled on your own machine rather than by a remote API.
Frequently asked questions
Is Scroll a List free to use?
Yes, it is completely free. All 2,658 tools on EditSafely work without an account, a subscription or usage limits.
Is it safe to paste sensitive or confidential data?
Everything happens locally. Your browser downloads the tool's code once, then does all the processing itself; nothing you enter is transmitted, stored or logged. You can even go offline after the page loads and it will still work.
How much text can I process at once?
There is no fixed limit. Because the work happens on your own device rather than on a shared server, the practical ceiling is your machine's memory, which comfortably handles inputs far larger than typical online tools allow.
Do I need to sign up or install anything?
No. The tool works in any modern browser on desktop, tablet or phone. There is no account to create, no extension to add and no software to install.
Can I save what the tool produces?
Yes. Use the download or copy controls in the output panel to keep the rendered result once it looks the way you want.
