Meet Mo: Put Your Face on a Stick Figure and Send It
Some messages land better when someone says them. A thank-you, a birthday wish, a "we did it!" to the team, a "not my department" to a friend who will get the joke. Mo is a free stick figure animation maker built for exactly those moments. Put your face on Mo, type a line for the speech bubble, pick a move, and send it as a looping GIF or a short video with music.
There is nothing to install and nothing to sign up for. Mo runs in the browser on your phone or computer.
How to make a Mo
- Type the line. Whatever you write goes in Mo's speech bubble, sized to fit.
- Pick a move. Thirty actions, from a shrug and a facepalm to a cheer, a ta-da and a backflip that goes badly.
- Make it yours. Add your face with a photo or your camera, and the background behind your head is removed for you. Then choose the outfit, a hat, a background and music.
- Send it. Build a GIF for a text or a group chat, or a video for your feed, in wide, square, vertical or portrait.
GIF or video?
A GIF plays by itself, over and over, right in the conversation, so it is the natural pick for texts, group chats, Slack and Teams. A video can carry music, and it is what Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube expect in a post. Mo makes both from the same scenes, so you can try one and switch.
Tell a tiny story with scenes
Add up to four scenes and Mo plays them in order: a setup and a punch line, two people trading lines, or a before and after. Each scene has its own words, move, face, outfit and background.
Ideas to start with
Holiday greetings
Dress Mo in the Santa Suit or the Elf outfit and send a holiday GIF that actually has your face on it.
Start from this holiday Mo and add your face.
Valentine's Day
Mo in a space suit, in outer space, telling someone they are out of this world, then a heart for the second scene.
Announce something
A launch, a new job, a milestone. A stick figure of you saying "I made a thing!" gets more attention than another plain post, and it is easy to share.
Reactions
Searching for the right reaction GIF usually means settling for something close. With Mo you make the exact one you wanted, with your face and your words.
