Movidmo Blob Maker

Random organic shapes that move. Set the color, the smoothness and the motion, then export a GIF, an SVG or a PNG — or open it in the editor and publish an MP4.

  • Free, no watermark
  • Animated or still
  • GIF, SVG and PNG

Amorphous blob shapes are hot in the design world. They are everywhere; Google even created a blob opera. Blobs elevate the design of websites, social media posts and print materials with unique shapes that give a very custom feel.

The Movidmo Blob Maker is the ideal tool for creating design elements from these smooth, organic shapes. If you want designs that break free of standard rectangles and circles, this is the tool for you.

Using the Movidmo Blob Maker

Five steps from a random shape to a finished file or video. No account needed to make one, or to download it.
  1. Press New

    Each press generates a new random blob. Keep going until you find the shape that fits your design.

  2. Pick a color

    Choose from the Movidmo palette, or open the Spectrum tab under Color for any custom color.

  3. Shape the motion

    Set Smoothness, then use the Motion menu for speed and easing, or switch Animate off.

  4. Export it

    Export an animated GIF, a scalable SVG or a transparent PNG. Nothing is added to the file and no account is needed.

  5. Or keep going

    Use In Video opens the blob in the video editor, where you can add text, photos and music and publish an MP4. Use In Image opens it in the image editor.

Use Your Blob in a Video or an Image

A blob doesn't have to leave as a file. Use In Video opens it in the Movidmo video editor and Use In Image opens it in the Movidmo image editor, with its animation intact.

The image editor for a social post, a header or a thumbnail; the video editor when the blob should move — crop a photo inside it, add text and music, publish an MP4.

Put Moving Blobs Behind Your Website

Like the motion? We're testing animated website backgrounds: blobs, waves, confetti and more, moving behind your own headline in your brand colors. They're drawn in code rather than played from a video, so they load fast and fit any screen.

Try sixteen of them live, restyle one in your own colors, and join the early-access list.

Templates Built Around Blobs

Some animate a blob outright, some draw it as a solid shape in the layout, and some crop a photo to the blob's outline. Open one to see what a blob does for a design.

A Guide to the Movidmo Blob Maker

What makes this blob maker different

First and foremost, unlike most tools in this space, our blob maker produces animated blobs by default, and they move in very interesting ways. The motion settings are under the Motion menu. Control how fast the blob moves with the Period input: the time, in seconds, for the animation to complete one cycle of its movement.

A short period (faster movement) creates a nervous energy, while a long period (slower movement) creates a relaxed, calming visual. Switch off the Animate toggle if you'd rather make a static blob.

How the speed varies through each cycle is set by an easing function. A smooth easing is the default, for a natural, fluid motion, and a variety of alternatives let you change how the speed builds and falls for different effects.

The Movidmo Blob Maker is also different under the hood. The usual approach is to join points taken from a standard shape with smooth curves. Ours uses a little mathematical wizardry from statistics instead. Each time you press New, a new set of points is generated around the perimeter of a circle, and each point produces a "bump" that extends beyond the circle by a random amount.

The widths of the bumps and their in-and-out movement also vary randomly. The core bump width is set with the Smoothness slider. Drag it to the far left for a noisier shape with many small bumps. Drag it to the far right and the bumps widen until they overlap and morph into each other, for a much smoother, fluid shape. Adjust it until the blob has just the right feel for your project.

Exporting your blob

Once you find the perfect blob, click Export to see the download options. Download an animated GIF, or a still frame as a transparent PNG or a lossless, scalable SVG. The GIF and PNG are 1080 × 1080 pixels, and the SVG is resolution independent, so it scales to any size without softening the edges.

Sharing your blob

To share a blob and get feedback, click Link to copy a custom URL to your clipboard, then paste it into a text message or email. When the link is opened, the exact blob you created is displayed. You can also save links to your favorite blobs so you can come back to them later.

Blob Maker Questions

Is the blob maker free without a watermark?

Yes. Making, downloading and sharing blobs is free, and nothing Movidmo adds appears on the files.

Can I use my blobs commercially?

Yes. Use them in websites, social posts, videos, ads and print, for your own business or for clients.

What file formats can I download?

An animated GIF, a transparent PNG and a scalable SVG. The GIF and PNG are 1080 × 1080 pixels; the SVG can be scaled to any size.

Can I make a blob that moves?

Yes, that's the default. Set how fast it moves with Period and how the speed changes with Easing, or switch Animate off for a still shape.

How do I get a smoother or bumpier blob?

Drag the Smoothness slider. To the right, wide bumps merge into a smooth, fluid shape; to the left, small bumps make a busier outline.

Can I put a photo inside a blob?

Yes. Press Use In Video to open the blob in the Movidmo video editor, where you can crop an image or video to the blob's shape, add text and music, and publish an MP4.
