motion

Animation & Motion
You are doing any non-trivial React animation — page transitions, gestures, layout animations.
You are doing only static fades — CSS transitions are enough and ship zero JS.

greensock
GSAP

The industry standard for advanced web animation since forever. Framework-agnostic — works with React, Vue, vanilla JS, anywhere. Strongest tool for complex timelines, scroll-driven animation, and SVG…

juliangarnier
anime

Lightweight JavaScript animation engine. ~66k stars. Great for SVG and DOM animation without React-specific bindings. Smaller community than GSAP, but the API is approachable and the bundle is tiny.

You want a small, framework-agnostic animation library for marketing sites or vanilla JS projects.
You are in React — Motion is more idiomatic, similar bundle size, larger community.

pmndrs
react-spring

Physics-based spring animations for React. ~29k stars. Better than Motion when you need genuinely physical motion (interruptible drags, momentum scrolls). Less DX polish than Motion for the common cas…

Animation & Motion
You are building interruptible drag interactions, momentum-based UI, or physics-feeling motion.
You want declarative tween-based animations — Motion is easier.
pmndrs/react-springView
airbnb
lottie-web

Render Adobe After Effects animations as JSON in the browser. ~30k stars. Best way to bring a designer's After Effects work to web/mobile without re-implementing. Files can be large — optimize them.

Animation & Motion
A designer is delivering complex animations (onboarding flows, illustrations) authored in After Effects.
You need interactive animations — Lottie is for playback, not interaction.
airbnb/lottie-webView
mojs
mojs

Motion graphics for the web — built for animated UI flourishes. Smaller community than Motion or GSAP but produces distinctive, polished microinteractions out of the box.

Animation & Motion
You want delightful microinteractions (toast pops, button effects, confetti) and want them to look good without tuning.
You need the full timeline/scroll control of GSAP or the React integration of Motion.

magic-ui-design
magic-ui

50+ animated React components built on Motion + Tailwind. Copy-paste style like shadcn but for animated effects: animated text, marquee, bento grids, file trees. Pairs perfectly with shadcn for landin…

Animation & MotionUI Components
You need animated marketing landing components fast and you are already on shadcn + Tailwind.
You are building a utility app where animation is decoration — focus on UX, not flair.
magic-ui-design/magic-uiView
aceternity
ui

Premium-feeling animated components for landing pages. Free core + paid pro. Useful as a reference even if you do not use the components directly — the source shows good Motion patterns.

Animation & MotionUI Components
You are shipping a SaaS landing page and want premium-feeling motion without a designer.
You need consistent product UI components — these are landing-page flair, not a design system.
