What is the SVG Text Animation Generator?#
The SVG Text Animation Generator turns a short line of text into an animated headline. Choose one of four presets, from drawing the outline to revealing a gradient, and adjust the colors, stroke, font, and timing to match your page. The artwork is SVG, so it stays sharp at any size.
Copy the result into your page or project, or download it as a file.
How to Use#
- Type the headline text, up to 30 characters, then set the size, font, and weight.
- Pick an animation preset.
- Set the stroke width and colors.
- Adjust the duration, delay, easing, and repeat.
- Choose the output format, then copy the code or download it.
While you work, the preview has its own controls. Replay, Pause, and Reset act on the preview, and Pin preview keeps it visible while you adjust the settings.
Presets and Options#
- Stroke Draw: draws the outline first, then fades the fill in. Good for a dramatic opening line.
- Outline to Fill: traces the same outline, then dissolves it into the fill. A quieter change.
- Glow: adds a glow as the outline is drawn, then settles on a soft fill. Suits dark backgrounds.
- Gradient Reveal: reveals the outline and fill in a two-color gradient. The start and end colors appear only for this preset, and replace the fill and stroke colors while it is selected.
- Text: one line. Line breaks are removed.
- Font: the system font by default, or one of the built-in fonts.
- Font size / weight: size in px and weight.
- Colors: fill, stroke, and background. The background paints the preview stage and ships in the snippet.
- Stroke width: outline thickness in px.
- Duration / Delay / Easing / Repeat: how long one play lasts, how long it waits before starting, how it accelerates, and how many times it plays.
- Output format: SVG keeps the whole animation in one element, HTML + CSS separates the style from the markup, and React returns a component.
Common Use Cases#
- Adding motion to a landing page headline.
- Making a logo-style one-liner stand out.
- Decorating an event or campaign page header.
- Checking stroke widths, colors, and presets before writing the CSS into a stylesheet.
FAQ#
Use the format that matches where you are pasting. All three carry the same animation, so pick SVG for a self-contained element, HTML + CSS when your page manages its own styles, and React when you work in a React project.
No. Each snippet carries its own CSS animation, so there is nothing else to install. The React format only needs React.
Yes. You can pick a font from the Font list, or replace the font-family line with your own font to match the site. Very wide fonts may overflow the artwork, so you may need to check the result on the page where you paste it.
The input is limited to 30 characters, since the tool targets short headline lines. Longer copy can be split into two lines and generated separately.
Both animations share one gradient definition, so the second snippet follows the first snippet's colors. The second snippet's gradient id needs a different name, and the two url(#...) references must be updated to match. Styles also share the same class names, so two snippets on one page need separate class names and selectors.
No. Long text widens the artwork, and the preview scales it down to fit. Shorten the text to make the letters larger.
