IT’S MIDNIGHT over THE BALL IS STILL LOADING is the one countdown everyone recognises.

What this template actually looks like
A deep navy field with a gold ball on a cable, a partial spinner ring and a small red firework spark.
New Year group chats, living-room parties and the walk home.
Swap the stream for your own feed and the joke becomes a screenshots post. Keep the second line as a status, not an explanation.

- Open Ball Drop Buffer in the editor.
- Keep the top line as “IT'S MIDNIGHT”.
- Set the bottom line to “THE BALL IS STILL LOADING” or your own version.

Sizes and where to post it
Native 1080 × 1080 px; the ball is centred for square and 4:5 crops.
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.
