bookAnimating Text

Animating text with GSAP opens up a wide range of creative options, especially for headlines and featured messages. However, text-specific animation presents unique challenges compared to other elements. You must always consider readability—too much movement, rapid color changes, or excessive letter spacing can make text hard to read, even if the animation looks impressive. Accessibility is another key concern: animated text should remain legible for users with visual impairments, and motion should not be so abrupt that it causes discomfort.

Creative ideas for animating text include:

  • Fading in headlines;
  • Animating letter spacing for a dramatic entrance;
  • Shifting colors to highlight important words;
  • Sequencing text so each letter appears in order.

By combining subtle opacity, spacing, and color changes, you can create engaging effects that draw attention without sacrificing clarity or user experience.
