The most immersive scroll-triggered text animation component available for Framer. Each word — or each character — illuminates in perfect sync with your visitor's scroll position, creating a hypnotic narrative experience that keeps users engaged and scrolling.
Inspired by the text animations used on Linear, Apple, Vercel, and the world's most awarded design studios. Now available as a single drop-in Framer component with zero setup required.

Most text reveal components fire once when an element enters the viewport. Premium Text Reveal is scroll-linked — the animation is driven frame by frame by the exact position of the scroll. Scroll forward, words light up. Scroll backward, they dim. The result is a cinematic, interactive experience that feels alive.
This is the effect that makes visitors scroll twice just to see it again. The effect that makes your portfolio feel like a product launch.

Dimming
The iconic word-by-word illumination made famous by Linear and Apple. Words start at low opacity and reveal to full brightness as they pass through the scroll zone. The most versatile effect — works on any background, any font size.
Color Shift
Text transitions from a neutral base color to a vibrant accent color of your choice. Perfect for brand-forward hero sections where you want specific words to land with maximum impact.
Blur Fade
Each word transitions from a soft, defocused blur to razor-sharp clarity as it enters the active scroll zone. Creates a dreamy, editorial feel ideal for storytelling sections, manifesto pages, and about pages.
Wave 3D
Every word rotates on its Y-axis like a ribbon in 3D space as it reveals. Powered by Framer Motion's hardware-accelerated transforms with perspective depth. The most dramatic effect in the collection — perfect for bold hero headlines.
Slide Mask
A cinematic masked slide-up per word. Each token emerges from behind an invisible clip mask — clean, precise, and unmistakably premium. Used by top-tier SaaS and agency websites.
Scale In
Words scale from 50% to full size with spring-physics elasticity. Combine with high stagger values for a cascading entrance that adds rhythm and energy to any section.

Hero sections — Make your opening headline impossible to ignore. Set a large font size, use Dimming or Color Shift, and let the text reveal itself as visitors begin scrolling.
Manifesto & about pages — Long-form sections where you want every sentence to land. Split by word with a slow smoothing value for maximum narrative impact.
SaaS landing pages — Feature section headlines, value proposition blocks, pricing page intros. The Blur Fade and Slide Mask effects pair perfectly with minimal SaaS aesthetics.
Portfolios & case studies — Project intro text, challenge/solution sections, results callouts. Wave 3D works beautifully on short, powerful statements.
Agency & studio websites — Where design is the product. Any effect. Maximum impact.
Editorial & digital magazines — Long reads, interviews, reports. Dimming keeps readers oriented and engaged throughout long-form content.

Does it work on mobile?
Yes. The component is fully responsive and the scroll-linked animation works on touch devices.
Can I use it with Framer CMS?
The text property accepts any string, including CMS-bound content via Framer's native variable binding.
Does it affect page performance?
No. All animations use GPU-composited properties (opacity, transform, filter). The spring physics run off the main thread via Framer Motion's optimized animation engine.
What happens to SEO — is the text readable by search engines?
Yes. The text is rendered as real HTML text in the DOM. Opacity and transform changes are purely visual and do not affect crawlability.
