React Text Animation Components
Text animation components for React. Typewriter, glitch, gradient, physics-based effects. Copy-paste into your Next.js project.
You know that hero section that just sits there? Static text on a static background, looking exactly like every other landing page? Your competitors have the same Framer template. The same stock photos. The same "We help you do the thing" headline in Inter.
Typewriter effects that feel human. Gradients that flow. Physics-based falling text. Glitch effects for that cyberpunk edge. Copy the component, paste it in, watch your bounce rate drop.

Blur & Focus
Soft reveals that feel elegant. Great for loading states, scroll animations, or anywhere brutalist feels wrong.
Glitch & Digital
Cyberpunk vibes. RGB separation, digital corruption, matrix aesthetics. For gaming sites, tech brands, portfolios that stand out.
Cursor & Interaction
Text that responds to where you point. Variable fonts, proximity effects, trails that follow movement.
Variable Proximity
Font weight follows cursor
Text Pressure
Pressure-sensitive effects
Text Hover Effect

Text Cursor
Cursor trail effects
Text Trail
Character trails on movement
Highlight & Emphasis
Draw attention to specific words. Marker highlights, motion backgrounds, shadows that make text pop.

Motion Highlight
Active item backgrounds
Line Shadow

Scroll & Velocity
Text that responds to how fast you scroll. Velocity-based effects for that modern, dynamic feel.
Path & Circular
Text that breaks free from straight lines. Curved paths, circles, loops that add visual interest.
Physics & Motion
Text with weight. Falling words, splitting characters, animations that feel real because they follow physics.
Using Components
Install with the CLI:
npx shadcn@latest add https://shadcn.io/r/typing-text.jsonOr copy from the component page directly into your project. Each component is self-contained—no external dependencies beyond what's listed.
Most animations use Motion (Framer Motion). Some advanced effects use GSAP, Matter.js, or Three.js. Dependencies are listed on each component page.
