Which one do you need and why?

There are several kinds of Subscribe buttons that you can add to your YouTube videos:

Animated SUBSCRIBE buttons
PNG images with transparent background
YouTube watermark button with the linked channel

Let's look at every one of them (+ free buttons to download).

An Overlay is an animation that you can add to your YouTube videos.

Animated SUBSCRIBE button will appear over your video at the bottom of the screen.

Animated subscribe button preview. Do you need one of this? Generate and download it above on this page for free!

Animated overlays come in two kinds:

with transparent background;
with a green screen.

Transparent vs Green Screen Overlay

Transparent background overlay comes in .MOV QuickTime format. Following video editors works with these files:

Adobe Premiere Pro
iMovie on Mac (don`t work with Imovie on Iphone)
Final Cut Pro X
Vegas Pro
Davinci Resolve
Adobe After Effects
Most other programs do not support the .MOV format.

Green Screen background overlay comes in .MP4 format. It is compatible with any Chroma Key/Green Screen video editing software (which is approximately 95% of the software). You need Green Screen background if you use next software:

Filmora 9 Wondershare
Imovie on Iphone or Ipad
Lumafusion

Simply said, an overlay is a video that you put over your video.

So the background is either

transparent (.MOV files) and needs no further editing; or
green (.MP4) and then the greens are further removed with the Chroma Key function.

Side Note: Chroma Key will kill all the greens in your footage, so look for pink or white background in case your main subject is green. Pink and white backgrounds are included in our pack.

How do I add an animated overlay to my video?

Instructions are identical for almost any platform:

Import your overlay
Drop it on the timeline over your video
Remove the green background with the Green Screen/Chroma Key function of your software if needed
That's it. Have fun and gain more subscribers!

For more detailed instructions, refer to the Software section.

Side note: we do not recommend using .gif animations with your videos. GIFs are often low-quality and aren't recognized by most types of video-editing software.

This SUBSCRIBE button image is static (not animated), has transparent background and comes in high resolution. You are welcome to download it for free for your personal use.

There are two ways you can add the SUBSCRIBE button .png to your videos: either through your video editing software, or through the YouTube studio.

Our advice is to add the .png image through your own video editor. In this case, you will be able to upload a high-resolution image and choose its size and positioning. Through YouTube studio, you will only get a small square badge that looks like a watermark.

Simply import this .png image into your video editor, drop it over your video timeline, and then adjust size, duration and positioning. All done!

Bonus point: add the SUBSCRIBED button in a consequent video frame, which then will look like a short animation.

Still not sure which video editor to use and how? Please refer to the Software section of this guide.

With a clickable link to your channel

A YouTube Branding Watermark is a feature that allows creators to add any image to all YouTube videos. This may be your logo, or an image that has a call-to-action on it — like SUBSCRIBE. This banner will show on all of your videos and will light up with a clickable link to your channel once pointed with a coursor.

Go to the YouTube Studio and click on Customization.
Go over to Branding tab and scroll down to Watermark.
Upload the Video Watermark. This must be a square image of no more than 1 MB (.png, .img., or .gif).
Choose duration — the watermark can be shown at the end of the video, for the entire duration of it, or at the custom time.
Hit Publish.
Now your video has a Subscribe button with a clickable link to your channel.

Keep in mind — this watermark will show on ALL of your videos. You don't have to do this for all of your uploads, once you select "Entire video" — it's going to update all your videos with this banner.

The answer is yes — you should encourage your viewers to hit the Subscribe button throughout every single video.

You can use verbal reminders, but adding a cool-looking SUBSCRIBE animation is most effective.

People on the Internet have short attention spans, they are constantly bombarded with all kinds of content and often skip through the videos. Despite everything, human brain automatically considers hitting the Subscribe button when it sees an animated prompt.

Subscribers are critical to your success on YouTube because they tend to spend more time watching your channel than viewers who aren't subscribed. Subscribers rack up twice as many views on a new video than non-subscribers. And if they have Notifications turned on, they'll be alerted when you post something new. They can also view your newly published videos in their Subscriptions feed.

In the past, Views drove discovery and rank on YouTube. Videos getting the most clicks were rewarded rather than those that held the longest viewer attention. Now, YouTube suggests videos that are likely to increase how much overall time a viewer spends watching. So, watch time drives discovery in 2021. If you want to learn more about how YouTube's search and discovery algorithm works — check out this series of videos.

Your goal is to set up your channel in a way to help people subscribe and have them keep coming back.

Portray your audience and think about what they want
Create content that suits their needs and answers their questions
Research keywords to write helpful descriptions and catchy headlines
Prompt your viewers to subscribe — both verbally and with animated reminders

Above all, have fun and create kick-ass videos!

Pay attention to the license agreement when downloading templates, images and overlays for your videos

Simply finding something on the Internet does not automatically imply that it is free to use in various contexts.

Content always has an owner, and the owner possess intellectual rights over their creation. It's better to be safe than sorry — check out the license type and agreement specifics before using any free stuff on your channel or blog. For example, many templates found online are free for personal use, but have different implications for bloggers and commercial use.

If you don't see copyright info coming straight with your template — it's safer to omit it whatsoever.

Our free templates come with a clear and easy-to-understand license agreement that is included in the pack.
