React Text Animation Components That Actually Work
Ever tried adding a typewriter effect to React and ended up in animation framework hell? Most text animation libraries either give you a black box that does everything except what you actually need, or rigid components with zero customization.
Built on shadcn/ui Philosophy
You own the code. Copy-paste the React components you need, customize them however you want. No package lock-in, no waiting for features, no fighting with rigid APIs.
Every component is built with TypeScript, works seamlessly with Tailwind CSS, and integrates perfectly with your existing Next.js setup.
Essential Text Animation Components
Explore React components designed for typography effects and text animations:
Typing Text
Realistic typewriter effects with human-speed timing and cursor blinking
Writing Text
Word-by-word reveals with natural reading rhythm and flow
Rotating Text
Smooth vertical text cycling without layout chaos
Rolling Text
3D character rolling with realistic physics and perspective
Counting Number
Spring-powered number counting with natural acceleration
Sliding Number
Mechanical counter-style digit sliding with tabular fonts
Splitting Text
Character, word, or line splitting with perfect timing
Highlight Text
Smooth expanding background highlights like real markers
Gradient Text
Flowing gradient animations with optional neon effects
Shimmering Text
Wave-like shimmer effects that flow naturally across text
Blur Text
Text that animates from blur to focus with intersection observer
Colourful Text
Vibrant color transitions and rainbow text effects
Text Generate Effect
Progressive character generation with realistic typing timing
Flip Words
3D word flipping transitions with smooth perspective transforms
Text Hover Effect
Interactive hover animations with character-level responses
Container Text Flip
Container-based text flipping with masked transitions
Text Reveal
Cinematic text reveals with clip-path and mask animations
Line Shadow Text
Dynamic line shadows that follow text with smooth transitions
Variable Proximity
Font variation effects that respond to cursor proximity
Scroll Velocity
Text effects that respond to scroll speed and direction
Glitch Text
Digital glitch effects with RGB channel separation
Circular Text
Text arranged in perfect circles with rotation controls
Text Pressure
Pressure-sensitive text effects that respond to cursor distance
Curved Loop
Text following curved paths with smooth looping animations
Fuzzy Text
Soft blur transitions with particle-like text effects
Text Trail
Character trails that follow cursor movement
Falling Text
Physics-based falling text with realistic motion
Text Cursor
Advanced cursor effects with text following and interactions
Decrypted Text
Matrix-style decryption effects with character cycling
True Focus
Depth-of-field text effects with realistic focus blur
Shuffle
Random character shuffling with smooth settling animations
Scrambled Text
Proximity-based character scrambling with GSAP integration
Why Generic Libraries Fall Short
Building text animations with generic libraries means implementing everything from scratch. Typewriter effects, staggered reveals, smooth counters—every animation becomes a custom implementation nightmare.
Most libraries provide low-level primitives but don't understand typography patterns. You end up manually calculating character positions, handling text overflow, and managing timing across screen sizes.
This library gives you the actual components, not a black box. Purpose-built for text with realistic timing, proper spacing, and mobile performance.
What You Get
Components built specifically for text: realistic typing speeds, reading-optimized timing, proper character spacing, and mobile performance. Works with your existing shadcn/ui setup—same Tailwind styling, same TypeScript patterns, same copy-paste simplicity.
How It Works
Each component solves specific challenges: <TypingText> handles realistic speeds and cursor behavior. <CountingNumber> uses spring physics for natural transitions. <HighlightText> creates smooth marker-like reveals.
Built with Framer Motion for hardware acceleration. Components handle responsive design, accessibility, and mobile performance automatically.
Use Cases
Hero sections - Realistic typing effects and smooth reveals that trigger when visible Dashboards - Animated counters with spring physics that feel natural, not robotic Loading states - Shimmer effects and progressive reveals instead of static spinners Marketing - Highlight key phrases, cycle through benefits, create narrative flow
The Architecture
Framer Motion handles animation primitives. Text Animations provides typography components. shadcn/ui gives you the foundation. Each tool excels at one thing.
Full TypeScript support with optimized patterns: hardware acceleration, efficient re-renders, proper cleanup, and intersection observers for scroll-triggered animations.
Your Code, Your Rules
Copy the components you need, customize them for your application. They're your components now. No package lock-in, no waiting for features, no rigid APIs.
Every component is battle-tested, TypeScript-safe, and ready for production use.
