Sometimes all you need is the stars. ReviewLab renders a clean five-star row, full, half or empty, as a transparent PNG you can drop anywhere. Set the rating with half-star precision, pick the colour, and export in a couple of seconds.

It's the universal overlay: a rating on a product photo, a thumbnail, a slide, a menu or a packaging mockup. Gold reads as the classic review star; red, green or black recolour it to match a brand. Turn on the animation to export the stars popping in as a video.

## How it works

1. Set the rating, tap the stars for half-star precision, or type a score.
2. Pick a platform style, star colour, dark mode, or add a reviewer photo.
3. Export a transparent PNG, or animate the entrance and export a video.

## What people use it for

## Frequently asked questions

### Can I make half stars?

Yes. The rating supports half-star precision, 4.5 renders four full stars and a half, so it matches any average.

### Can I change the star colour?

Yes. Pick from gold, orange, red, green, blue or black to match your brand or the review's tone.

### Can I export the stars as a transparent PNG?

Yes, so the star row layers onto any background with no box around it.

### Can I get animated stars?

Yes. Turn on animations and export a video of the stars popping in, the premium unlock covers video export.
