A news ticker — sometimes called a ticker tape or crawl — is a narrow bar of continuously scrolling text. You have seen them on CNN, Bloomberg, and sports networks. On the web, news tickers are used to display breaking news, stock prices, event updates, and promotional messages without interrupting the rest of the page layout.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a news ticker?
- A news ticker is a horizontal bar of scrolling text commonly seen on news websites, TV broadcasts, and live dashboards. It continuously displays headlines, updates, or short messages that slide across the screen, keeping visitors informed without taking up much space.
- How do I add a news ticker to my website?
- Use our generator to configure your ticker text, animation speed, and visual style. Once you are happy with the preview, copy the generated HTML and CSS code and paste it into your website's HTML — typically near the top of your page or inside a header section.
- Can I display multiple messages in one ticker?
- Yes. You can add multiple text blocks in the editor and they will scroll together in sequence. Each block can have its own styling, so you can highlight breaking news in red while keeping regular updates in a neutral color.
- Will the news ticker slow down my website?
- No. The ticker is powered by lightweight CSS animations — there is no JavaScript runtime overhead. CSS animations are hardware-accelerated by the browser, so the effect runs smoothly even on mobile devices.
