This free lower third maker creates the animated name bar that slides onto screen to introduce you, a guest or a segment. Type a name and subtitle, pick a style and entrance animation, match your brand colors, and export a transparent PNG for a static version or an animated WebM for a moving one. Add it to OBS and trigger it whenever you want to show who's on screen — a small touch that makes a stream feel polished and produced.
How to add a lower third in OBS
For the static version, add the PNG as an Image source. For the animated one, add the WebM as a Media Source and, because it's exported on a green background, apply a Chroma Key filter to remove the green. Position it in the lower corner of your scene and toggle it on when you want to introduce yourself or a guest.
Styles & animations
Choose from ten professional styles — bar, stacked box, neon glow, glass, outline, cinematic, badge, corner brackets, underline or minimal — and twelve entrance animations, from slide (any direction), fade and rise to pop, zoom, bounce, expand, wipe and glitch. Match your two brand colors plus a text and accent color for a cohesive look.
Frequently asked questions
What is a lower third?
It's the name/title graphic that appears in the lower part of the screen to introduce a person or topic — common in TV, YouTube and streams.
How do I use the animated version in OBS?
Add the WebM as a Media Source and apply a Chroma Key filter set to green, since it's exported on a green background for reliable transparency.
Is the PNG transparent?
Yes, the static PNG has a transparent background so only the lower third shows over your scene.
Is it free?
Completely free, no signup or watermark, and it runs in your browser.
