Founded in 1999 by brothers Evan and Gregg Spiridellis, JibJab is a digital entertainment studio based in Los Angeles that has spent over two decades making the world a funnier place. Originally famous for its viral political satires, the brand has evolved into the ultimate destination for personalized digital greetings and humor.
JibJab’s signature “Starring You®” technology allows users to cut out faces from photos and place them into hilarious animated videos, Ecards, and GIFs. From dancing elves during the holidays to disco-themed birthday wishes, JibJab transforms personal connections into unforgettable, laugh-out-loud experiences. With a library of over 1,500 exclusive pieces of content, JibJab helps millions of people share joy and laughter for every conceivable occasion—from major holidays to the simple “just because” moments.
1. Is JibJab free to use? JibJab offers both free and premium memberships. Free members can create, view, and share a limited selection of “Free” Ecards and use most GIFs in the JibJab mobile app. However, full access to the library of over 1,500+ videos and premium features requires a paid subscription.
2. How much does a JibJab Premium Membership cost? While prices can vary based on regional app stores and promotions, a standard Premium Membership is typically billed annually at $36.00 USD (equivalent to $3/month) or via a monthly plan for $6.99 USD. This provides unlimited access to all content on both the website and mobile apps.
3. How do I make a “Starring You” video? It’s easy! Choose a video template, upload a photo from your computer, phone, or social media, and use the cropping tool to align the face. You can save multiple “heads” in your account to quickly cast your friends and family in different videos.
4. Can I share my Ecards on social media? Yes. JibJab is designed for sharing. You can send your creations via email, or share them directly to Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and other messaging platforms through the website or the JibJab app.
5. How do I cancel my subscription? If you subscribed via JibJab.com, you can disable auto-renewal in your Account Settings. If you subscribed through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, you must manage and cancel the subscription through your device’s respective subscription settings.
6. Is there a JibJab mobile app? Yes, the JibJab app is available for both iOS and Android. The app is particularly popular for sending quick GIFs and “Shorties” (brief animated clips) directly from your phone’s keyboard or messaging apps.
7. Can I add more than one face to a video? Many JibJab videos are designed for multiple “stars.” You can find templates that feature anywhere from one to five (or more) different faces, allowing you to cast your entire family or friend group in one dance routine!
