Draw the move.
Watch it play. Post it.

Animated Tactics turns a football idea into a looping clip — position the shape, draw the runs, hit play. On iPhone, iPad and Mac, or in your browser. What comes out is ready for X, YouTube, TikTok or your stream overlay.

The export

This is what you post

Every clip below came straight out of the app — no editor, no motion graphics, no render queue. One tactical idea, looping, readable with the sound off.

Export as a looping GIF or an MP4, framed 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 or exactly as you set the camera — so the same move fits a timeline post, a short, or a full-width segment without recropping.

Inside the app

Every tool is on the board

Runs, keyframes, spotlights, zones, links and measures — each one a layer you can time on the timeline. These are the App Store screenshots; swipe for more.

For creators

Built to be on screen

If you break down football for an audience, this was made for you — and what creators ask for is what gets built next.

01

Free to start, nothing to install

Open the board in your browser with no account, or download the app. Pro removes the watermark and puts your own logo on every export.

02

A landscape layout made for streaming

The iPad layout rearranges itself in landscape so the pitch fills a 16:9 frame instead of sitting in pillarboxes. That layout exists specifically for going on stream.

03

Your colours, not a club's

Team names, kit colours and trims are all yours to set, so the board matches your channel rather than someone else's badge.

04

Fast enough to do live

Drag, draw, play. A move takes about a minute to build, so you can answer a question on air by drawing the answer.

How it works

A tactic in three steps

Everything happens on one screen — position, draw and play without switching modes.

1 — Position

Each dot shows its position. Drag them to build your shape, or drop a formation on in one tap.

2 — Draw runs

Tap a player to select them, then tap or drag the pitch to set where they run. Add arrows anywhere to mark the idea.

3 — Play & export

Press play to preview the whole move, then export it as a looping GIF or an MP4.

The board

A real tactics board, not a slideshow

  • Eleven formations — from 4-4-2 to 3-2-4-1, applied to either side.
  • Both teams on one pitch — with your own names, kits and trim colours.
  • Passing lanes — see which options are actually open from where the ball is.
  • Keyframe timing — perform a move by hand and the app keeps your timing, not just the shape.
  • Annotation arrows — straight or curved, drawn with one gesture.
  • Layers on a timeline — spotlights, zones, links, measures and shapes, each timed to the move.
  • A scene library — with autosave, undo, and duplicate to branch an idea.
  • Six languages — English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Turkish.
  • iPhone, iPad and Mac — from the App Store, iOS 17 or later. iPad is where it's happiest.
  • And in your browser — the same board at app.animatedtactics.com; install it like an app and it works offline.
