Send an animated Birthday wish

Frequently asked questions

How do I send Birthday wishes with a name?

Type your name (and theirs, if you like), pick a message or write your own in any language, and choose one of 4 shows and the music. Press "Send on WhatsApp" or copy the link. When they open it and tap, the show plays with your message.

Can they interact with it?

Yes. Depending on the show they blow into the mic, or tap, to blow out the candles, tap the sky to launch rockets, tap anywhere to launch a rocket. Nobody has to: if they just watch, the show plays by itself.

Can it open exactly at midnight?

Yes. Set "Opens at" (one tap sets the coming midnight) and send the link whenever you like: until then they see a countdown with your name, and at that moment the show opens. The time is checked by their own phone's clock, so it's a surprise rather than a lock.

Can they really blow out the candles?

Yes. In the Birthday Cake show they tap "Blow into your phone", allow the mic, and blow. The sound is only measured on their phone, moment by moment, to tell how hard they're blowing; it is never recorded, played back or sent anywhere, and the mic is switched off as soon as the candles are out. Tapping the candles works too, and if they do nothing a breeze blows them out.

Can they record their reaction?

Yes, if they want to. Before opening (or after the show, to watch again) they can choose "Record my reaction", pick the camera, the microphone or both, and the show plays with their face in a small circle and their voice on top of the music. They can watch the clip, then share it back or save it. It is recorded on their own phone and never uploaded; nothing is shared unless they press Share or Save.

Is my message uploaded or stored?

No. The names and the message are packed into the link after the # sign, which browsers never send to a server. Nothing is stored anywhere, and the link works for as long as they keep it.

Is there a watermark?

Only a small "omnibus.tools" in the top corner of the animation and the video, so whoever receives it knows where to make their own, and you can turn it off with the checkbox under the preview. Nothing else is added.

Can I post it as a WhatsApp Status or an Instagram Story?

Yes. Press Make video to get a portrait video (720×1280) with the music and the sound effects. It is made on your phone or computer; on a phone you can share it straight to WhatsApp or Instagram.

Can I write it in my own language?

Yes, in any language: Tamil, Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati, Telugu, Urdu, Punjabi or anything else. The opening line, the big greeting, the message, the names and the sign-off are all yours to write, and the animation shows them as typed. English and हिन्दी only choose the ready-made suggestions (and, in हिन्दी, the few words they read around the animation).
