Animated welcome emoji generator

Animated welcome emoji

Describe a welcome doing one thing and get it back as a looping GIF. For a welcome that means arms opening wide and a door swinging. Opening arms is a single expanding motion, and open-close-open repeats as a welcome that never stops offering.

Emojis you create are public and may appear in Explore.

Prompts that loop well for a welcome

  • Waving welcome sign

  • Open door with light spilling out

  • Bear opening its arms for a hug

Each names a single action. The generator draws 4 frames of one picture and plays them at 140 ms each, so a prompt that asks for a whole scene comes back as a still with a shiver, while a prompt that asks for one motion comes back moving.

Where it goes

The GIF is 128x128 and 20 to 45 KB, which is under every chat app's animated emoji cap, so there is nothing to compress. Each app has its own rule about who can upload and who can use it:
