thankyou.video

The school year is ending or a colleague is leaving, and you'd like to say thanks with something warmer than a card. The team behind thankyou.video says group thank-you videos usually mean a slideshow app with a sign-up wall, a watermark or a paid export, and uploading photos of pupils, patients or guests. Their answer was to assemble everything on the user's own device.

One editor makes three things: a short video with music, a GIF that loops silently in a chat or an email, or an animated end slide for PowerPoint, Google Slides or Keynote. The slide is the less obvious one. Choose Slide 16:9 under Format and the export is a clip of five to ten seconds that loops cleanly at the end of a talk, or a PNG still if you'd rather not have motion.

The templates are grouped by who you're thanking. There are sets for teachers and school, colleagues and teams, and nurses and carers. Others cover customers and supporters, donors and volunteers, wedding and party guests, and family. There are also "thanks for watching" end cards with a channel name for video makers. You can change every word, add photos and clips, pick a built-in track or a song from your device, and record a spoken thank-you with your microphone.

Group videos take some legwork, because there's no shared link for collecting messages from several people. The FAQ says one person gathers the clips by WhatsApp, email or a shared folder and adds them all, and a guide includes a message you can send round to ask for them. The home page suggests 30 to 60 seconds for a personal video and two to four minutes for a group video with many messages.

The makers name that limit themselves. It's template-based, and it works on one device, so it can't collect clips from many contributors online the way group-video services do.

Businesses and charities can use it for customer, client or donor thank-yous, but it only makes the file. There's no mailing list or email sending, so you attach or post the result with the tools you already use.

Every template and export is free, with no account, trial or watermark. The site shows no adverts.

The privacy page, updated November 8, 2026, says your browser reads your files and makes the video, and none of your photos, clips, words, music, file names or the location details inside photos are sent to the site. Projects stay in your browser until you delete them. Google Analytics records pages and editor actions such as choosing a template, using a first-party cookie with advertising features off, and you can switch it off under Cookie settings.

If you've got a folder of photos and someone to thank, it's well worth picking a template and trying it.
