Frequently asked questions
Type your username, choose whether you want the verified badge, the background pill and a color, then hit Download PNG. Upload a photo and you can drag the tag over it and download the finished image.
Yes. As long as you don't upload a photo, everything around the tag is transparent, so you can drop it over your video in Premiere Pro, CapCut or DaVinci Resolve without cropping.
Yes. Pick an animation and download the MOV: it's a QuickTime file with an alpha channel, so it sits on top of your video in Premiere, After Effects, DaVinci or Final Cut with no background to remove. Record it cropped to the text or on a 1920 × 1080, 1080 × 1920, 1080 × 1080 or 4K canvas. If you'd rather have an MP4, it comes on a chroma, black or white background.
No. The image comes out clean at 2x, 3x or 4x, so it stays sharp even in a 4K video.
No. The tag is rendered in your browser: neither the username nor the photo leaves your device.
On the image, yes — it's a mock-up. Use it on your own videos and thumbnails, not to make people believe an account is verified when it isn't.
