# The banner creator

The banner creator builds an animated Telegram custom-emoji strip out of text, images and motion presets. It runs in the dashboard, not the bot; the finished pack is delivered to your Telegram DM.

## Overview of the banner creator

You need to be logged in to open it.

*Entry points*

| Where | Path |
| --- | --- |
| Standalone page | `/banner-creator` |
| Dashboard | Emoji Design → Banner tab, "Open Banner Designer" button |
| Header nav | Free Tools → Banner Builder |

#### What a banner is

| Setting | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Tiles | **8**, one row |
| Tile size | 512 × 512 px each |
| Loop length | 1.2s by default |

The raid bot's progress bar and the scanner's header images are also called banners; neither is built by this tool.

## How to customize your banner

| Control | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| Undo / Redo | Steps back and forward through the edit history. |
| Reset all | Resets every control to its starting state, after a confirmation. |
| Save | Saves the design to your saved banners. This is separate from the workspace draft, which auto-saves as you work and restores whatever you last had open. |
| Export | Opens the export panel — see Create → export, below. |
| View Saved | Lists your saved banners, each with an animated thumbnail. |

## Customize the text in your banner

| Control | Accepts | Default |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Banner text | up to **24 characters** | “MEMESCALE” |
| Font | a starter font, or one you upload (`.ttf` / `.otf`); “Font from web” pulls a font, colour palette and logos from a URL you paste | — |
| Text colour | hex / RGB, or a colour from a scanned site's palette | white |
| Container fill | hex / RGB — disabled while a Design is active | black |
| Add an animation | see below | none |

#### Text colour sub-rows

| Sub-row | Controls | Default once turned on |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Style | Bold and Italic; Bold adds a Weight slider, 25%–250% | Weight 100% |
| Alignment | Left / Center / Right | Center |
| Gradient | two colour stops across the text | `#56c4ff` → `#ba6eff` |
| Outline | outline around the text | width 5, white |
| Shadow | drop shadow behind the text | dx 10, dy 14, black, 55% opacity |

#### Add an animation

| Source | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| From Emoji | place any premium emoji as a moving element |
| From Image → From Files | upload `.png`, `.jpg`, `.jpeg`, `.webp`, `.avif` or `.svg` |
| From Image → From Website | pick an image scraped from a site you scanned with Font from web |
| From Lottie File | upload a `.json` Lottie file |
| From Profile Picture | a Telegram user's profile photo by username, square or circle crop |

> **Limit**
>
> Up to **4 motions total**, from any combination of these sources — the control disables itself at the cap.

## Control exactly how the text looks

| Knob | Range | Default |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Letter Spacing | −30 … 100 | 0 |
| Text Size | 40% … 100% | 100% |
| Border Radius | 0 … 250 — disabled when the active Design sets its own shape | 84 |
| Animation Speed | 0.3× … 2.5× | 1.0× |
| Border width (shown only once a Border preset is picked) | 2 … 16 | — |

- A Second text field (up to 24 characters) appears once a Two-Text preset is active.
- Design colour badges appear once a Design is active, with a reset button that restores the skin's own palette.

## The banner creator editor

The stage plays the same animation the pack ships.

- A background swatch picker sits over the stage; it shows a checkerboard when Container fill is none.
- Drag placed images and emoji to move them; a corner handle scales, another rotates, and × removes.
- Motion paths draw over the stage. Click one to edit, tint or delete it.
- A chip strip under the stage lists every active choice — Animation, Entrance, Design, Border and Two-Text — each removable with its ×. Clicking a chip jumps the rail to that cell.

## Banner customization types

Five tabs hold the effects you can add, and every cell previews what picking it does to your current design.

**Entrance** (11) sets how the text first appears. **Animation** (18) sets how it moves. **Design** (28) sets the text's finish — its texture, material or pattern. **Borders** (8) adds an animated edge around the banner. **Two-Text** (12) sets how the banner swaps between two lines of text.

A Two-Text preset needs the Second text field filled in — that's the text it swaps to mid-loop.

## Advanced banner customization

A motion places a moving image, emoji, logo or profile picture on the stage and animates it, independently of the text animation.

#### Motion paths

*Two modes*

| Mode | How it works |
| --- | --- |
| Dots | place up to **12 dots**; double-click a dot to remove it |
| Draw | trace the path directly; it only moves forward |

| Control | Accepts |
| --- | --- |
| Size | 5% – 400% |
| Traversals per loop | 1×, 2× or 3× |
| Motion feel | Steady (linear) or Smooth |
| Rotate along path | on/off — the element turns to follow the path |
| Mirror | adds a mirrored twin on the other side; Flip ↔ and Flip ↕ toggles appear once on |

#### Motion presets (10)

*Applied instead of a freehand path*

| Name |
| --- |
| Hover |
| Bounce |
| Sway |
| Circle |
| Pendulum |
| Pulse |
| Rock |
| Drift |
| Heartbeat |
| Orbit |

## Create → export

#### From an open design to a delivered pack

1. Click **Export**, in the top bar.
2. Name the pack.
3. Click **Generate pack**.
4. On success: “Success — check your DMs,” with a View in Telegram button. The design is also saved to your saved banners under the same name.

#### Finished pack naming

| Input | Output |
| --- | --- |
| You type (pack name) | `MEMESCALE` |
| Posted title | `MEMESCALE @memescaleai` |
| Share link | `t.me/addemoji/mzd1a2b3c4d_by_yourbot` |

A tile over the per-tile size cap fails the export.

Once delivered, the banner appears in Dashboard → Emoji Design → Banner as a gallery card, and under a “Banners” heading in the emoji picker of every message editor — inserted as the whole 8-tile strip in one click.

## Limits

*Field caps*

| Field | Cap |

| Pack name (Export) | 48 characters |
