What Running Led Text Does
Running Led Text turns any screen into a scrolling LED sign. Open the free LED scroller online, type your words and the sign is ready. You type a message, choose colours, speed and direction, and hold the screen up — at a concert, at an airport arrivals gate, in a shop window or across a loud room. It runs in the web browser, so there is nothing to install and no account to make.
How the sign is made
The sign is drawn on a grid of virtual LEDs. Your message is set in an open-licensed pixel or dot font, then each LED lights up when the letters cover it, with an optional glow. The full-screen view keeps the screen awake where the browser allows it, turns sideways on a portrait phone so the letters can use the long edge, and shows nothing on top of the sign.
Templates for Every Occasion
Every template is a preset of the same editor, with the colours, speed and font already chosen for one occasion. Pick one of the LED sign templates for a concert, a wedding, an airport pickup or a shop window and change the words to your own. Templates use only free settings, so every one can be shown and shared at no cost.
Your message stays with you
Every setting of a sign is written into its link, after the #, which browsers never send to a
server. We don't store messages, and a shared link keeps working for as long as you have it. Saved signs live in
your own browser. Details are in the Running Led Text privacy policy.
What's free and what Pro adds
Everything you need to show a sign is free: the editor, every template, full screen, sharing, saving and GIF or video export up to 10 seconds at 720p with no watermark. The free site is supported by ads on the editor and content pages, never on the full-screen sign.
Pro is a single $4.99 payment, not a subscription. It removes ads everywhere, adds HD (1080p) MP4 export up to 30 seconds, two premium fonts and the Neon and Rainbow effects.
Use signs responsibly
Venues, stadiums and some roads have rules about signs, screens and flashing lights. Check them before you hold up or display a sign. Blinking is capped below three flashes a second, but turn it off around anyone sensitive to flashing light.
Questions and Feedback
Questions about signs, Pro keys and refunds are welcome, and so is feedback on the editor. If something doesn't work as expected, contact us about your LED sign and we'll get back to you.
