54 CSS Scroll Effects

A complex technical example demonstrating how to ensure animation functionality even without CSS animation-timeline: scroll() support. The code first checks for support and, if absent, uses GSAP ScrollTrigger as a polyfill for scroll-driven animation.

A pure CSS method to fix one block on the screen while its neighbor scrolls - a clear demonstration of how position: sticky works within a parent container.

This scroll-driven animation effect is built entirely with CSS Scroll-Driven Animations, using animation-timeline: scroll(). It smoothly translates and transforms elements based on scroll position, creating a dynamic and high-performance parallax effect without JavaScript.

A mesmerizing scroll-driven image grid powered by the cutting-edge animation-timeline: view() CSS property and the <css-doodle> web component.

Check out this cutting-edge “sticky island” effect that dynamically squishes and transforms on scroll using CSS Scroll-Timeline. The core technical feature is creating the Gooey effect by combining filter: blur() and contrast() with absolute control linked to the scroll position.

A demonstration of the current use of @container style() and scroll-state() to create context-aware UI. The key feature: the video element’s styles and animations are entirely determined not by the viewport, but by the element’s position within its parent container.

A cutting-edge pure CSS grid featuring scroll-driven animations and advanced trigonometric functions for dynamic tilt and zoom effects. It leverages @property and SVG displacement maps to create an immersive UI experience with maximum performance and zero JavaScript overhead.

An impressive pure CSS holographic effect utilizing mix-blend-mode and fixed background gradients to create iridescent “living” masks. This lightweight approach serves as a performant alternative to WebGL for building scroll-reactive UI elements with deep visual textures.

A sophisticated scroll-linked text filling effect powered by modern CSS Scroll-Driven Animations and custom @property logic. This snippet showcases fluid typography, responsive layouts, and the View Transition API for seamless theme switching, providing a high-performance blueprint for advanced frontend interfaces.

A progressive blur on scroll effect is implemented, where a sticky element utilizes backdrop-filter: blur() to dynamically change its transparency and blur strength as content scrolls underneath, creating a modern UI “fade-out” effect.

A high-performance pure CSS circular text animation leveraging modern Scroll-Driven Animations and custom @property logic. This snippet accurately simulates motion inertia and scroll velocity without JavaScript, providing a lightweight and scalable alternative to complex WebGL implementations for creative UI/UX.

A demonstration of one of the oldest and most reliable tricks for a parallax effect: the background-attachment: fixed property makes the section backgrounds stay in place relative to the viewport while the sections themselves scroll, creating an illusion of motion.

A polished horizontal scrolling container featuring soft fade-out edges achieved via CSS mask-image and linear gradients. This technique eliminates harsh content cut-offs, creating a seamless and premium UI experience for image galleries or sliding card lists.

A modern scroll-triggered text highlight effect powered by the native CSS Scroll-Driven Animations API. By utilizing animation-timeline: view(), this snippet creates a fluid “marker reveal” animation as the content enters the viewport, delivering maximum frontend performance with zero JavaScript overhead.
