Countdown Buffer
COUNTDOWN TO MIDNIGHT over THE CLOCK IS BUFFERING treats midnight as a loading state, which is exactly what the last minute of the year feels like.
Opens in the editor with both captions filled in. Free exports a 1080 px PNG and a GIF with a small FunnyHub credit; Pro unlocks 2160 px and no credit. Nothing is uploaded.
What this template actually looks like
A charcoal field holds a large clock with a pink ring and pale hands, a dotted lime arc circling it, and scattered confetti triangles. No text is baked in, so the artwork stays clean behind any caption.
New Year’s Eve chats, midnight posts, and any plan that is still loading at 11:59.
Treat midnight as a status update. Percentages, loading verbs, and "please wait" phrasing all fit the clock.
How to use it
- Open Countdown Buffer.
- Frame midnight as a loading state in the top line.
- Use the bottom line for the status message.
- Export a GIF so the loader arc keeps turning.

Sizes and where to post it
Native 1080 × 1080 px. In the GIF export the arc rotates; the confetti stays still so the motion reads as loading rather than celebration.
Every export happens on your device: the editor draws the frame on a canvas, and neither the artwork nor your captions are uploaded. Free exports a 1080 × 1080 PNG and a 720 px GIF with a small corner credit; Pro exports 2160 × 2160 PNGs and GIFs without the credit.
Full per-platform numbers are in the meme size cheat sheet, and the GIF walkthrough covers motion, looping and file size.
