Virtual gifts for live-streaming and voice-chat apps
Live-streaming and voice-chat apps usually need three kinds of animated items: virtual gifts that viewers send, entry effects that play when a user joins, and avatar frames around profile pictures. SVGa Marketplace sells all three as ready-made files, with instant download after online payment and a free player for testing SVGA files first.
What gift assets does a live-streaming app need?
- Virtual gifts. Animations that viewers send to hosts during a stream, from roses and hearts to cars, dragons and festival scenes. Most are SVGA files, and some are WebP. Browse gift animations.
- Entry effects. Also called entrance effects, these play when a user joins a room. Apps often reserve them for VIP members, ranking rewards or store purchases. Every entry effect here is an SVGA file. Browse entry effects.
- Avatar frames. Decorative borders around a user's profile picture, used as store items, VIP rewards or event prizes. They come in SVGA, PNG, GIF and WebP. Browse avatar frames.
How the three differ, and how apps trigger and layer them, is explained in Entry effects and avatar frames explained.
Which file format should you use?
SVGA is a good default for gifts and entry effects. An SVGA file holds detailed images with real transparency, and open-source SVGAPlayer libraries play it on Android, iOS, Flutter and the web. For avatar frames, PNG suits apps that want static frames in a standard image view, while SVGA, GIF and WebP frames suit apps that support those formats. To compare formats in depth, see Lottie vs GIF vs SVGA vs MP4 and SVGA vs VAP.
How do you start a gift catalog?
Start with a bundle, then add themed items. The Livestream App Starter Package mixes gifts, avatar frames and entry effects for a new app for $112.80 instead of $141. The Entry Car Package bundles vehicle entry effects for $88 instead of $110. Both are fixed sets that can't be customised. After that, add items for your audience from themed collections such as cars, luxury and love. Seasonal items for Christmas, Ramadan and Eid, and New Year are in festival gifts.
How does licensing work?
From our Terms: "Unless stated otherwise on a product page, purchasing an asset grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to: Use the asset in your live streams, broadcasts, or approved platform integrations. Modify the asset for personal or commercial streaming use as permitted by the target platform." You may not "Resell, redistribute, sublicense, or publicly share source files as standalone downloads." Read the full Terms before you buy.
How do you add the files to your app?
Download the file and play it in your app when the gift is sent, the user joins or the profile picture appears. SVGA files play with an SVGAPlayer library over the video; PNG, GIF and WebP frames show in an image view that supports their format. Setup code for Android, iOS, Flutter, the web and React Native is in our app integration guide.
Can you test before you buy?
Yes. Every product page has a free preview that plays an MP4 preview video. Our SVGA Player has free sample SVGA files to download and test in your own build. Your .svga file plays locally in your browser and is never uploaded to our servers. The player plays SVGA 2.x files only.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a gift, an entry effect and an avatar frame?
A gift plays when a viewer sends it to a host during a stream. An entry effect plays when a user joins a room, so everyone already there sees the arrival. An avatar frame is a border shown around a user's profile picture. Apps often sell entry effects and frames as store items or give them as VIP rewards.
Which apps can use these files?
Any live-streaming, voice-chat or social app that can play the file's format. SVGA files need an SVGAPlayer library, which is open source for Android, iOS, Flutter and the web. PNG, GIF and WebP files show in a standard image view. We are not affiliated with any app and don't guarantee compatibility with every app version or device, so preview each item first.
Can I resell or redistribute the files?
No. The licence lets you use and modify the files in your live streams, broadcasts or approved platform integrations, but you may not resell, redistribute, sublicense or publicly share them as standalone downloads. Buying a file doesn't transfer ownership of it.
Are the packages customisable?
No. Each package is a fixed bundle: you buy every item in it together, and its contents can't be changed. The package page lists every included item and shows the original total, the discount and the package price in USD before you add it to your cart.
How fast do I get the files?
After online payment by Razorpay, UPI or crypto, download access is enabled on your account instantly or within a few minutes. Manual payments are delivered after we verify your proof of payment, usually within 1–2 business days. Download your files from your account's purchases area and keep your own backup copies.
