Animate text with Text Effects in Framer
Learn how to animate text with Text Effects in Framer. Animate characters, words, lines, and elements with real-time previews. Choose presets or create custom effects with properties like Scale, Blur, and Offset. Trigger animations on Appear, Layer In View, or Section In View.
Lesson details
Add a Text Effect and choose whether Framer animates the layer, lines, words, or characters. Set the trigger and starting properties, then tune stagger, duration, delay, and easing around the amount of text on the page.
Preview the effect with the final copy and at narrow widths where line breaks change. Keep headings readable during motion and avoid long stagger sequences that delay the message.
Use the shortest motion that explains the change. Frequent or decorative effects should require less attention than a transition that introduces a new page or interaction state.
