Pick a line below, put it on an animated card with his name, and send it as a looping **GIF** or a short video with family photos. This page opens the family templates in Square 1:1 with **GIF** chosen, ready for the family chat. For an aunt, see [happy birthday aunt](https://birthday.video/happy-birthday-aunt); for jokier designs, [funny happy birthday](https://birthday.video/funny-happy-birthday). Everything is made in your browser, so the family photos never leave your phone. Free, no watermark. Start from one of these ## Happy birthday wishes for an uncle Paste one into **Message**, or mix a joke with a thank-you. * Happy birthday to the uncle who taught me every card trick and none of the rules. * Uncle, you’re proof that you never have to grow up. Happy birthday. * Thanks for every lift, every fiver and every terrible joke. * Happy birthday to my favourite uncle and the family’s best barbecue chef. * Still the funniest person at every family party. Happy birthday. * To the uncle who always had time for one more game: happy birthday. * Happy birthday, Uncle. Thank you for being the cool grown-up. * You told me never to tell Mum. I never did. Happy birthday. * Happy birthday to the man with an opinion on every football team, including mine. * Another year older, and your dad jokes have aged like fine wine. Mostly. * From fishing trips to driving lessons, thank you. Happy birthday. * Happy birthday, Uncle. The family is louder and better with you in it. * Wishing you a birthday with no washing-up and plenty of cake. * Happy birthday to my uncle, my teammate and my first bad influence. ## How to make a birthday GIF for your uncle 1. ### Pick a family design Press **Make a GIF for your uncle**. The editor opens on the family templates; choose one from **Templates**. 2. ### Add his name and a line Type “Uncle Pete” or whatever you call him in **Name**, and a line from the list above in **Message**. 3. ### Add a photo or two Press **Add photos and clips** and pick a photo of him, ideally an old one he has forgotten about. 4. ### Export and send Press **Export video** and choose **GIF**, then **Share** it to the chat. Choose **Video (MP4)** instead for sound and more photos. ## Joke or tribute? Uncles tend to prefer a laugh to a speech, but most appreciate one line that means it. A safe structure for a short video: * **Open with the joke.** His catchphrase, a photo of the barbecue that went wrong, his football team’s last season. * **Then the photos.** Him with you as a child, at family weddings, at the head of the table. * **End with the thank-you.** One sentence about what he actually did for you. ## Great-uncles and the uncle far away For a great-uncle, use Landscape 16:9 so he can watch it on the television, and keep the words short and clear, as on the [happy birthday Grandpa](https://birthday.video/happy-birthday-grandpa) page. For an uncle abroad, a GIF is the quickest thing to send across time zones: it plays the moment he opens the chat, with no sound needed. If cousins want to join in, ask each of them to film a short clip and send it to you; you add them all with **Add photos and clips**. There is no shared upload link. ## Happy birthday uncle: questions ### What do you write to an uncle on his birthday? A joke he will recognise and one line of thanks. “Thanks for every lift, every fiver and every terrible joke” covers most uncles. ### How do I make a happy birthday GIF for my uncle? Press the button above, type his name in **Name**, then **Export video** and choose **GIF**. It loops on its own in any chat. ### Can I add music? Yes, in a video: choose **Video (MP4)** and **Add music** for a Happy Birthday tune. GIFs have no sound. ### Can I make one card for my aunt and uncle together? Yes. Type both names in **Name**, such as “Sue and Pete”, and add photos of the two of them. ### Is it free? Yes. No account, no watermark, and nothing is uploaded. ## Birthday videos for other people * [ Birthday video maker Start from an animated template, add their name, photos and a song. ](https://birthday.video/) * [ Happy birthday aunt wishes and videos Thank-yous for the aunt who spoiled you, on a GIF or a video. ](https://birthday.video/happy-birthday-aunt) * [ Happy birthday cousin GIFs and wishes Lines about shared holidays and family dos, on a GIF or video with their name. ](https://birthday.video/happy-birthday-cousin) * [ Happy birthday nephew GIFs and wishes Short, cheeky lines and a GIF or video with his name for the family chat. ](https://birthday.video/happy-birthday-nephew) * [ Happy birthday niece GIFs and wishes Lines for an aunt or uncle to send, on a GIF or video with her name. ](https://birthday.video/happy-birthday-niece) * [ Funny happy birthday GIFs and videos Meme captions, a fake age and their worst photo, as a GIF or a video. ](https://birthday.video/funny-happy-birthday) * [ Happy birthday Dad GIF and video Dad jokes and thank-yous, a GIF with his name, or a video of old photos. ](https://birthday.video/happy-birthday-dad) * [ Birthday video templates Every template in the editor, by occasion, with the formats it suits. ](https://birthday.video/birthday-video-templates)
