gsap animation generator

How to use the gsap animation generator

  1. Pick an animation type: timeline, scroll trigger, text reveal, stagger list.
  2. Configure duration, ease, and target selector.
  3. Preview the animation against a live DOM sample.
  4. Copy the GSAP code — production-ready, uses gsap.registerPlugin() where needed.

When to use it

Use GSAP when CSS animations run out of road — scroll-linked effects, orchestrated timelines, runtime-driven values. GSAP is the industry standard for complex web animation and works with any framework. Don't reach for it for hover states or simple transitions; CSS is faster and free of runtime cost. Alternative: Framer Motion is better if you're in React and want declarative animation; GSAP wins for framework-agnostic work.

Frequently asked questions

Is GSAP free?
The core library is free under the GSAP standard license for most commercial use. Premium plugins (SplitText, MorphSVG) require a Club GreenSock membership.
Does the generated code include ScrollTrigger?
Yes — if the animation type uses scroll triggers, the output registers ScrollTrigger automatically.
Can I use this with React?
Yes. Wrap the GSAP calls in useEffect and scope via useRef. The output includes a React-ready component variant.
