SplitFlapSend lets you create animated split-flap display messages — like the classic departure boards at airports and ferry terminals — and share them as a video or GIF. Choose from preset phrases or unlock a custom message to type anything you want (up to 48 characters across 4 rows). Export as a video with sound, or as an animated GIF, to send in a message or post to social media. Both preset and custom messages can be exported to 9:16 vertical format for optimized viewing on social media postings. Custom messages also support word wrapping with centered text.
