Build a transparent timer overlay, preview the countdown, then export it for your video edit.

Set the duration and style in the generator above, then export. Choose PNG sequence for the broadest editor compatibility, or WebM (with alpha) for a single transparent file in OBS or Streamlabs. Import the result and place it on a layer above your footage.

Yes. Export WebM (with alpha) and add it as a Media Source in OBS or Streamlabs. The background is already cut out, so the countdown sits over your scene without an extra chroma-key step. Twitch Studio is omitted because Twitch ended support after May 30, 2024.

They usually mean the same thing: a timer overlay that counts down from a set duration to zero on top of your video. This tool builds a transparent countdown timer overlay, so set the total seconds, pick a display format like MM:SS, and export it for your editor.

Yes. The safest route is a PNG sequence, because editors handle image-based transparent assets more reliably than compressed video. The WebM (with alpha) export is the single-file alternative when you want a transparent video layer instead of an image sequence.

Start with PNG sequence if you want the most dependable handoff, especially for compositing over real footage. Choose WebM (with alpha) when you want a single transparent video file for OBS or Streamlabs.

No. The generator is local-first. Preview and export run on your own machine, so the page behaves like a real tool instead of waiting on a remote render queue.

Simple numerals with strong contrast usually win. Monospaced digits, restrained glow, and careful corner placement keep the timer readable over busy footage better than decorative timer skins.

The exported overlay is platform-agnostic; compatibility depends on the editing app used before upload. PNG sequences are the safer editor handoff, while WebM (with alpha) is intended for OBS and Streamlabs. Test a short export in your exact app version before producing a long timer.
