About Letter Swap

Letter Swap

Add playful interactivity to links, headers, or buttons with Letter Swap. This component smoothly swaps characters on hover, creating a satisfying "slot machine" style motion that draws attention.

Features

Staggered Animation Letters animate one by one (staggered) for a fluid, wave-like motion rather than a stiff, uniform movement.

2 Interaction Modes

  • Forward: The swap happens once on hover and resets instantly (good for links).

  • PingPong: The swap reverses when the mouse leaves (good for buttons).

Full Customization Control the stagger direction (first-to-last, center-out), animation speed, spring physics, and of course, any font family and style.

Use Cases

Navigation Links — Add subtle micro-interactions to your site navigation that encourage exploration.

Call-to-Action Buttons — Draw attention to important buttons with playful text effects that feel premium.

Hero Headlines — Create memorable first impressions with animated headings that engage visitors.

Portfolio Titles — Showcase creativity with dynamic text effects that reflect your design aesthetic.

Customization

Letter Swap provides intuitive controls for complete customization:

Text & Animation

  • Text: Enter your content directly

  • Variant: Choose between Forward (one-shot) or PingPong (toggle on hover)

  • Direction: Control whether letters animate up or down

Timing Controls

  • Spring Duration: Adjust the animation bounciness (0.1 - 2.0s)

  • Stagger Duration: Fine-tune the delay between each letter

  • Stagger From: Start animation from first letter, last letter, or center

Typography

  • Full font control via Framer's extended font picker

  • Color picker for text styling

Quick Tips

Best for Buttons — Use PingPong mode for interactive buttons where the effect should reverse on mouse leave.

Create Wave Effects — Set Stagger From to "Center" for an outward wave animation that expands from the middle.

Subtle is Better — Start with default stagger (0.03s) for smooth motion. Higher values create more dramatic, typewriter-like effects.

Spring Physics — Lower spring values (0.4-0.6) feel snappy and modern, while higher values (0.8-1.0) add playful bounce.
