How to use Generate Scrolling Text
- 1. Type or paste your text. Enter the message you want scrolling across the screen, such as a banner headline or a short announcement, into the input pane.
- 2. Pick a Direction and Loop seconds. Choose Right to left, Left to right, Bottom to top or Top to bottom from Direction, and set Loop seconds to control how long one full pass takes before it repeats.
- 3. Adjust Font size and colors. Set Font size for readability, then pick Text color and Background to match the context where the animation will be displayed.
- 4. Review the animated result. The output panel shows an animated SVG scrolling your text continuously in the chosen direction. Adjust any option and the preview updates live.
When to use Generate Scrolling Text
Generate Scrolling Text turns a message into a looping horizontal or vertical scrolling animation rendered as SVG. Reach for it whenever you need a moving text banner without writing any animation code yourself.
- Building a ticker-style news banner. You want a stock-ticker or breaking-news style strip of scrolling text for a dashboard or kiosk display. Set a fast Loop seconds value and a horizontal direction for a classic ticker feel.
- Adding a scrolling credit line. A video project or web page needs a slow vertical scroll of credits or acknowledgments. Choose Bottom to top and a longer loop time so viewers can read each line comfortably.
- Creating a retro marquee effect for a fan page. You want the nostalgic feel of an old marquee sign scrolling a message across a webpage. Match the background color to your page and embed the resulting animated SVG.

About the Generate Scrolling Text tool
Generate Scrolling Text does its work locally, right in the browser. Turn text into a horizontally or vertically scrolling animation. There is no upload step, no queue and no account, and your data never travels over the network.
It belongs to the Text Tools collection on EditSafely, a set of 211 small, focused Text utilities that share the same instant, private workspace.
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.
Running locally also makes the tool fast and dependable: results appear as you type or drop a file, there is no server outage that can take it down mid-task, and confidential data can be processed without a second thought.
Frequently asked questions
Does Generate Scrolling Text cost anything?
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?
No data leaves your device. The whole tool is JavaScript that runs inside your browser tab, so there is no upload, no server-side processing and no log of what you did. If you disconnect from the internet after the page loads, it keeps working.
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?
Nothing to install and no account needed. Open the page in any up-to-date browser, including on a phone or tablet, and the tool is ready.
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.
