Animated text grabs attention in ways static text simply can't. Movement naturally draws the eye, making your message more likely to be read and remembered.
Types of Text Animation
- Fade in: Text appears gradually — elegant and professional
- Slide in: Text enters from a side — dynamic and modern
- Typewriter: Letters appear one by one — great for quotes
- Bounce: Text bounces into place — playful and fun
- Scale: Text grows from small to large — adds emphasis
When to Use Animated Text
- Headlines and titles on the first frame
- Key statistics or numbers you want to emphasize
- Calls to action ("Swipe up!", "DM me!")
- Quotes and testimonials
- Product names and prices
Best Practices
- Don't animate everything — too much motion is distracting
- Keep animations fast (0.3–0.5 seconds)
- Ensure text is fully visible long enough to read
- Match animation style to your brand's energy
