Text Effects

Blur Text

A staggered text reveal animation that fades and unblurs text by word or character.

Quick Actions
CLI Installation
npx kinetic-ui-cli@latest add blur-text

The BlurText component is a classic cinematic text reveal. By applying a heavy CSS filter: blur() and orchestrating a delayed stagger across the words or characters, it creates a feeling of a camera focusing in on the typography. Now updated with 4 distinct animation variants.

Viewport Logic

The component utilizes Framer Motion's useInView hook with margin: "-10% 0px". This means the animation will automatically trigger exactly once when the text scrolls into the viewport (specifically, when it's 10% past the bottom edge of the screen), preventing animations from running off-screen.

Usage Guide

1. Import the Component

Import the component into your React or Next.js page:

import { BlurText } from "@/components/creative/blur-text";

2. Implementation Example

Render the component and customize its behavior by passing props:

import { BlurText } from "@/components/creative/blur-text";

export default function Example() {
  return (
    <div className="w-full flex items-center justify-center p-8">
      <BlurText
        text="example"
        delay{10}
        animateBy{/* value */}
      />
    </div>
  );
}
Performance Notes
  • Uses CSS hardware acceleration via GPU transform-binds.
  • Damped interpolation minimizes paint-redraw flashes.
  • Tree-shakable import: only compiles elements requested.
Accessibility Notes
  • Full keyboard focus-ring navigation support (`Tab`/`Shift+Tab`).
  • ARIA roles mapped correctly for assistive screen readers.
  • Respects `prefers-reduced-motion` system toggles.
