three.js
JavaScript 3D library
three.js is a lightweight and easy-to-use JavaScript 3D library with its own default WebGL renderer. It works by creating a scene with a camera and a geometric cube, the latter of which is added to the scene. This will become the animated object within the scene. A WebGL renderer is created for the scene and the camera, with an added viewport to the document.body element. Finally, the cube is animated within the scene for the camera. A plethora of examples can be found in the project’s website (https://threejs.org/) which use Canvas 2D, SVG and CSS3D renderers that the library also provides. -

Vizzu
Library for animated data visualizations and data stories
Vizzu is a free, open-source Javascript/C++ library utilizing a generic dataviz engine that generates many types of charts and seamlessly animates between them. It can be used to create static charts but more importantly, it is designed for building animated data stories and interactive explorers as Vizzu enables showing different perspectives of the data that the viewers can easily follow due to the animation. Create a placeholder element that will contain the rendered chart. The Vizzu constructor has to load Vizzu's WebAssembly module asynchronously to prevent blocking the whole page. Because of this, any method except animate() will throw an exception while the library is not initialized. There is an initializing promise in the Vizzu class, which will resolve when initialization is finished. You can call all methods after this promise is resolved. -

Lottie-Web
Render After Effects animations natively
Lottie-Web renders vector animations exported from Adobe After Effects as lightweight JSON, playing them in the browser via SVG or Canvas. Animations remain crisp at any resolution, load quickly compared to videos or GIFs, and can be controlled programmatically for interactivity. The runtime supports playback options like loop, autoplay, segment control, and event hooks, making it easy to sync motion with UI state. Because animations are data rather than pixels, designers and developers can collaborate: designers export with the Bodymovin plugin, and developers integrate the JSON with minimal code. The renderer handles masks, shapes, and keyframe timing to closely mirror After Effects behavior within web constraints. This approach brings high-quality motion design to product interfaces without large asset sizes or complex sprite workflows. -

Velocity
Accelerated JavaScript animation
Velocity is an animation engine with the same API as jQuery's animate. It works with and without jQuery. It's incredibly fast, and it features color animation, transforms, loops, easings, SVG support, and scrolling. It is the best of jQuery and CSS transitions combined. Velocity works everywhere — back to IE8 and Android 2.3. Under the hood, it mimics jQuery's queue, and thus interoperates seamlessly with jQuery's animate, fade, and delay. Since Velocity's syntax is identical to animate, your code doesn't need to change. JavaScript and jQuery are falsely conflated. JavaScript animation, which Velocity uses, is fast; it's jQuery that's slow. Although Velocity works alongside jQuery, it uses its own animation stack that delivers its performance through two underlying principles: 1) synchronize the DOM → tween stack to minimize layout thrashing, and 2) cache values to minimize DOM querying. -

MixItUp 3
Library for animated filtering, sorting, insertion, removal and more
MixItUp is a high-performance, dependency-free library for animated DOM manipulation, giving you the power to filter, sort, add and remove DOM elements with beautiful animations. MixItUp plays nice with your existing HTML and CSS, making it a great choice for responsive layouts and compatible with inline-flow, percentages, media queries, flexbox and more. MixItUp is open source and free to use for non-commercial, educational and non-profit use. For use in commercial projects, a commercial license is required. Most commonly, MixItUp is applied to a "container" of "target" elements, which could be a portfolio of projects, a list of blog posts, a selection of products, or any kind of UI where filtering and/or sorting would be advantageous. Targets can be filtered using any valid selector e.g. '.category-a', and are sorted via optional custom data attributes e.g. 'data-order'. -

Typed.js
A JavaScript typing animation library
Typed.js is a library that types. Enter in any string, and watch it type at the speed you've set, backspace what it's typed, and begin a new sentence for however many strings you've set. Rather than using the strings array to insert strings, you can place an HTML div on the page and read from it. This allows bots and search engines, as well as users with JavaScript disabled, to see your text on the page. You can pause in the middle of a string for a given amount of time by including an escape character. CSS animations are built upon initialization in JavaScript. But, you can customize them at your will! -

WOW.js
Reveal CSS animation as you scroll down a page
Reveal animations when you scroll. Easily customize animation settings like style, delay, length, offset, iterations, etc. By default, you can use it to trigger animate.css animations. But you can easily change the settings to your favorite animation library. Smaller than other JavaScript parallax plugins, like Scrollorama (they do fantastic things, but can be too heavy for simple needs). Super simple to install, and works with animate.css, so if you already use it, that will be very fast to setup. Fast execution and lightweight code, the browser will like it. It just take seconds to install and use WOW.js! Once purchased on UpLabs, you’ll receive a commercial license PDF and be all set to use WOW.js in your commercial applications. If you want to use WOW.js to develop commercial sites, themes, projects, and applications, the Commercial license is the appropriate license. With this option, your source code is kept proprietary. -

css-spinner
Small, elegant pure css spinner for ajax or loading animation
Open source CSS loading animations dedicated for speed, simplicity & dev-friendly. Loading.io's CSS spinner uses CSS Animation, which is wildly supported by all modern browsers such as Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. However, the Microsoft Internet Explorer version earlier than 10 doesn't support CSS Animation. To support older IE, you have to use a GIF format image. Choose one from loading.io's online spinner gallery and you can customize a unique loader GIF with our icon editor easily. Some older browsers need prefixes like '-WebKit-' to use CSS Animation. To minimize file size, we omitted all vendor prefixes in loaders' CSS, but you can customize this by building CSS from the source. We also provide stylus and pug source files for better integrating these spinners into your project. Find corresponding stylus and pug files for your desired spinners under src/ folders. -

snabbt.js
Fast animations with javascript and CSS transforms
snabbt.js is a minimalistic javascript animation library. It focuses on moving things around. It will translate, rotate, scale, skew and resize your elements. By including matrix multiplication operations, transforms can be combined in any way you want. The end result is then set via CSS3 transform matrices. snabbt.js is built to be fast. It will only animate things that modern browsers can animate cheaply, transforms and opacity. The goal is to make a library that will let the user make smooth animations without needing to know too much about browser rendering. Note, for convenience, width and height are animatable too, but beware since they may cause page reflows and slow down your animations. No arbitrary property animations, e.g. colors, padding, margin or line height animations. For performance reasons, snabbt never queries the DOM. -

Animatable
One property, two values, endless possiblities
Animatable is an interactive web gallery that demonstrates which CSS properties can transition between two values. Each tile represents one property and continuously alternates between a defined starting and ending state. Visitors can animate every example at once or trigger individual demonstrations by hovering. Selecting a tile reveals the property name, both values, authorship information, and controls for moving to adjacent examples. Keyboard navigation supports Escape and the arrow keys for faster exploration. The page generates its keyframes dynamically with JavaScript and applies compatibility fixes through StyleFix. It serves as a visual reference and experimental showcase rather than a general-purpose animation library. -

CSS Inspiration
Curated collection of interesting, creative, or inspiring CSS effects
CSS-Inspiration is a living gallery of modern CSS effects and components that highlights what’s possible with pure CSS and minimal markup. The collection ranges from micro-interactions and loaders to 3D transforms, complex backgrounds, hover states, and text effects, each presented as a small, self-contained demo. Source code is front and center, encouraging developers to study, copy, and tweak snippets for their own projects. Many examples lean on contemporary features—custom properties, filters, blend modes, gradients, and keyframes—serving as both inspiration and a practical cookbook. Because each demo focuses on a single idea, it’s an effective way to learn new techniques without wading through a full framework. The project thrives on experimentation and community interest, making it a frequent reference for designers, front-end engineers, and educators who want visually striking yet lightweight solutions. -

CSS Loaders
A collection of loading spinners animated with CSS
css-loaders is a collection of simple, reusable loading spinners and indicators implemented entirely in CSS. The project offers a variety of designs—spinning circles, bouncing dots, bars, and pulse animations—that can be applied to any element with a few classes. Each loader is built using CSS keyframes and transforms, avoiding images or JavaScript, which keeps them lightweight and responsive. Because they are pure CSS, they scale cleanly at different sizes and can be styled easily with color or shadow overrides. Developers can copy snippets directly into their projects without needing to install heavy dependencies. These loaders are widely used in web apps and prototypes to communicate background activity or waiting states to users in a visually pleasing way. -

Christmas Tree
Just a simple Christmas tree, based on reddit story
atree is a lightweight JavaScript library for managing and visualizing hierarchical tree data structures in a flexible and efficient way. It offers core abstractions for creating nodes, building parent–child relationships, and traversing trees with utilities for depth, breadth, and custom iteration strategies. Because tree structures are ubiquitous in computing—from file systems and organizational charts to DOM structures and evolutionary taxonomies—atree provides a reusable foundation for representing and interacting with nested data. It separates the logical model from rendering concerns, so you can use it as the data backbone in UI frameworks, graphs, or custom visual components. The library’s API makes it easy to add, remove, or move nodes anywhere in the hierarchy while maintaining consistent references and performance. -

Effeckt.css
A Performant Transitions and Animations Library
Effeckt.css is a showcase and toolkit of high-performance UI transitions and animations for the web. It catalogs common interaction patterns—button states, list reveals, modals, off-canvas menus, and page transitions—implemented with CSS transforms and opacity for smooth, GPU-friendly motion. The project focuses on practical details such as using compositing-friendly properties, keeping DOM structures lean, and providing hooks so JavaScript can toggle classes without micromanaging animation state. Each effect is isolated, documented, and demoed, allowing designers to copy just what they need rather than dragging in a monolithic framework. By standardizing names and behaviors, it helps teams keep motion design consistent across a product while remaining easy to theme. The library doubled as a learning resource during the rise of CSS animations, showing how to achieve polished interactions without heavy JavaScript.
