Manim
A community-maintained Python framework for creating animations
A community-maintained Python library for creating mathematical animations. Manim is a free and open-source project originally written by Grant Sanderson. It is now maintained by the Manim Community and permissively released under the MIT license. Manim was originally created by Grant Sanderson as a personal project and for use in his YouTube channel, 3Blue1Brown. As his channel gained popularity, many grew to like the style of his animations and wanted to use manim for their own projects. However, as manim was only intended for personal use, it was very difficult for other users to install and use it. Manim, or ManimCE refers to the community-maintained version of the library. This is the version documented on this website; the package name on PyPI is manim. ManimGL is the latest released version of the library developed by Grant “3b1b” Sanderson. It has more experimental features and breaking changes between versions are not documented. -

Lottie
Render After Effects animations natively on Mobile, Web & React Native
Lottie is a wonderful library for Android, iOS, Web, and Windows that works by parsing Adobe After Effects animations that have been exported as json with Bodymovin, and then rendering these natively on mobile and on the web!

Building animations by hand is time consuming, and other animation alternatives like Gifs and Png sequences don’t offer the same flexibility and varied features that Lottie offers. With Lottie, you can achieve exquisite animations exactly how you want, with no additional engineering effort whatsoever. Take a look at the many beautiful animation possibilities available to you on http://airbnb.io/lottie/ -

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. -

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! -

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. -

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'. -

Move.js
CSS3 backed JavaScript animation framework
Move.js is a small JavaScript library making CSS3 backed animation extremely simple and elegant. Increment prop by val, where val is an Number (click several times). Decrement prop by val, where val is an Number (click several times). Set animation duration to n which is a Number or a string such as "4s". Translate x and optionally y axis. Set animation-delay to n which is a Number or a string such as "4s". Move is packaged with a minified version, re-built each release. We can also pass flags to uglifyjs. -

Blend_My_NFTs
Easily generate thousands of 3D models, images, and animation NFTs
Blend_My_NFTs is an open-source, free-to-use Blender add-on that enables you to easily generate thousands of 3D Models, Animations, and Images. This add-on's primary purpose is to aid in the creation of large generative 3D NFT collections. It is the first and easiest 3D NFT generator. Blend_My_NFTs was initially developed to create Cozy Place, an NFT collection by This Cozy Studio Inc. Blend_My_NFTs works with Blender 3.2.2 on Windows 10 or macOS Big Sur 11.6. Linux is supported, however we haven't had the chance to test and guarantee this functionality. Windows 11 has not been tested as of yet. Any rendering engine works; Cycles, Eevee, and Octane have all been used by the community. This add-on only works in Blender, a Cinima 4D port is being investigated. Every object, model, texture, camera, light etc. must be in the same .blend file! If you have mulitiple .blend files, Blend_My_NFTs is unable to open and process them. It's recommended to keep your file's total size 5gb. -

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. -

Scene.js
Scene.js is JavaScript & CSS timeline-based animation library
Scene.js supports two plays: javascript and css animation. It's perfect to use it in context and not feel the difference. Scene.js have complete control over time. No matter what time you choose, this can show you the right movement for that time. With Scene.js, SVG can be used by CSS animation in Chrome and can also be controlled by point through 'attribute'. Scene.js can control multiple elements at the same time. Even though the time between the start and end of each element is different, it can be repeated. Scene.js supports a variety of value types, such as CSS, and can be handled in JavaScript. Scene.js provides effect presets that can give animation effects or make animation easier. You can view the code and animation of clapperboard, the main logo of scene.js
