Text Effects

Kinetic Typography

Massive responsive text that dynamically warps, floats, and scrambles using Framer Motion.

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

The KineticTypography component breaks down strings into individual framer-motion nodes. By applying mathematical transforms or physics springs to individual letters, it creates powerful "magnetic spline" waves, organic floats, and interactive hover effects. Now updated with 5 animation variants.

3D Elastic:Letters map to your cursor position, creating a 3D magnetic distortion spline.

Variants

| Variant | Interaction | Description | |---|---|---| | elastic | Mouse Move | Maps cursor position to 3D rotation, scaling, and translation for a magnetic spline effect. | | wave | Auto-playing | Continuous, staggered sine wave oscillation across the text. | | jump | Hover | Individual letters spring upwards and change color when hovered. | | float | Auto-playing | Letters drift organically with randomized delays, distances, and rotations. | | decode | Mount & Hover | Scrambles letters through random characters before settling. Re-triggers on individual letter hover. |

Usage Guide

1. Import the Component

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

import { KineticTypography } from "@/components/creative/kinetic-typography";

2. Implementation Example

Render the component and customize its behavior by passing props:

import { KineticTypography } from "@/components/creative/kinetic-typography";

export default function Example() {
  return (
    <div className="w-full flex items-center justify-center p-8">
      <KineticTypography
        text="example"
        intensity{10}
        variant{/* 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.
