What is a letter writing GIF?

A letter writing GIF is a short animation of a single letter being written by hand, stroke by stroke, in the order a person would form it. Each one plays in about a second and then holds on the finished letter.

There are 52 here — capitals A–Z and cursive lowercase a–z — all free to download and use, commercially included, with no attribution and no watermark.

Using the alphabet GIFs

Because the strokes are drawn in sequence, the GIFs show a letter being formed rather than just its finished shape — useful for alphabet slides, letter-of-the-day posts and early-reading material, and the cursive set shows how each lowercase letter loops.

The capitals use Kalam, an upright handwriting print that stays readable at small sizes. The lowercase letters use Dancing Script, a flowing cursive, so you can see how each one starts and finishes its loop.

Single letters also work as animated initials: a drop cap at the start of a story, a monogram on an invitation, or a letter-of-the-day post. For a whole name or word in the same style, open the editor and type it.

Letter GIF FAQ

Can I make a GIF of a whole word or name in these letters?+

Yes. Click "Make this with your own text" under any letter. The editor opens with the same font and colour; type your word or name and download the GIF.

Are the strokes in the correct writing order?+

The animation follows stroke paths traced from the font's letter shapes, ordered the way a hand normally moves — broadly top to bottom and left to right. That matches how most letters are written, but it is not a school handwriting scheme, so check it against the one you teach before using it for letter formation.

Is there a cursive capital set?+

Not as ready-made files yet. You can make any cursive capital in the editor: type the letter and choose a script font such as Dancing Script, Great Vibes or Parisienne.

Can I use them in worksheets or paid courses?+

Yes. They are free for personal and commercial use, including classroom material and paid courses, with no attribution required.
