How to use a template

  1. Open it in the editor. Swash runs in the browser, and you can try any template without an account.
  2. Make it yours. Change the words, fonts, colours and images. The animators stay live, so the motion follows your text.
  3. Export. MP4, GIF or a PNG frame: up to 720p on the free plan, up to 4K at 60 fps on Pro.
