Grain Reveal
A quiet reveal effect for images. Instead of a plain fade, your photograph surfaces through dissolving film grain and blur — resolving into focus like an image developing. Designed for editorial, portfolio, and photography sites where a standard fade feels too generic.
What it does
The image begins blurred beneath a layer of animated grain, then settles into sharp focus — blur, grain, and a subtle scale all resolving together on a slow, natural easing curve. It runs once when the image scrolls into view, never loops, and never competes with your content.
Controls
Every part is adjustable from the properties panel:
Duration and delay
Blur amount
Grain intensity
Corner radius
Background color (shown before the image loads)
Trigger on scroll into view, on/off
Notes
Respects prefers-reduced-motion — visitors who prefer less motion see the final image immediately. Built on a lightweight canvas layer, so it stays smooth on mobile. Works with any image; pairs especially well with film photography and warm, textured visuals.
Drop it in, connect your image, and adjust to taste.
