Grain Reveal

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

Works with any image; pairs especially well with film photography and warm, textured visuals.

Drop it in, connect your image, and adjust to taste.
