Wiggle Bounce

A wiggle text animation for one playful word

Chunky display letters in hot pink on a blush stage, each one bouncing up and down just after the one before it, tilting as it goes — a wave of wiggle running through the word. Four seconds, looping.

Bouncing text animation, letter by letter

Wiggle text is a look, not a font: the letters move independently, so the word feels alive. Here every character of your word bounces on the same curve, offset by a fraction of a second from its neighbour, so a wave travels through the word from left to right. Each letter also tilts a few degrees one way and back as it rises and falls, which is what turns a bounce into a wiggle.

The bounce runs twice through every four-second clip and keeps repeating, so it can sit behind a caption or play on a loop as a sticker. The word, its colour and its size are the three named controls — type anything from a name to a one-word hook, and long words shrink to fit the frame. This is an animated video, not copy-and-paste wiggly Unicode.

The wave starts
The letters ride a wave through the word, low at the left end and rising toward the right.

Mid-wiggle
The crest is travelling through the word, the letters at different heights and angles — the frame that shows the wiggle best as a still.

Later in the loop the wave runs the other way through the letters.

Three steps to a wiggling word

01
Type the word
One short word reads best — a name, a hook, a reaction. Every letter gets its own bounce.
02
Pick the colour
The accent colours the letters. The blush stage suits the default pink; ask the assistant to change the background too.
03
Set the size and export
Size runs from 120 to 210. Export in any of the four aspects and loop it.

Per letter

A wave, not a block

Each character starts its bounce slightly after the last, so the word ripples — the difference between a wiggle and the whole word jumping at once.

Tilt

A little rotation on every bounce

Letters tilt a few degrees as they rise and fall, which gives the playful, hand-made feel people look for in wiggle text.

Looping

Four seconds, two cycles

The bounce runs twice per clip and keeps repeating, so it works as a sticker or a moving title on a loop.

What you can change

Four named controls, exactly as in the studio panel — the smallest template in the library, which is why it takes under a minute.

Wiggle text without an editor

In a video editor, wiggle text means splitting a word into letters and keyframing each one. Here it is one text field. Use it for a playful title card, a sticker-style caption, a kids' channel intro or a single word that has to feel fun — and link it with a chunkier look like the 3D bubble text template when you want more weight.
