Animated DropZone: Premium Interactions Component by Marin Maleyran

A self-playing drop zone widget that demos a full file upload flow — animated cursor drags files in, uploads progress in real time, one fails and recovers. Every text, color and timing is editable from the Framer panel. Perfect for landing pages and SaaS demos

About this Component

What it does

A complete drop-zone interaction that animates on its own — no interaction required. A cursor drags three files into the zone one by one, each uploads with a live progress bar, two complete with a green pulse and one fails with a Try-again recovery. The whole sequence loops on a customizable duration.

Animations included

• Animated cursor with a tilted "ghost file" pill following it

• Drag-over state on the drop zone (subtle scale + tint)

• Stagger entry of file items (fade + y-slide + scale)

• Live progress bars with linear fill

• Pop + halo on success, flash glow on completion

• Status dot that morphs from grey (uploading) to green (complete) to red (failed)

• Inline "Try again" with soft-red treatment on failure

• Exit stagger between cycles

What's editable

• Loop duration (12–40s)

• Every text — drop title, subtitle, button label

• File names, sizes, types (PDF / PNG / MP4)

• Full color palette — surface, foreground, muted, border, success, danger, danger soft, file-type badges

• Auto-loop toggle (on/off)

Use cases

Landing pages, SaaS dashboards, file-upload product demos, onboarding screens, hero sections that need a self-running interaction.

Tech

Built with Framer Motion, fixed-size component (420×540 by default, both axes resizable). No external dependencies. Cursor and file ghost are pure SVG + DOM, no images required.
