About AniLibrary

Add easy animations to any block in the WordPress editor.

AniLibrary gives you one wrapper block that can hold almost any other block. Add the wrapper, drop your content inside, choose an animation, and you’re done.

Features:

  • Works with core blocks, groups, columns, and most custom blocks.
  • Choose when animations start: page load, scroll into view, hover, click, or loop.
  • Animate in, out, or both — with reverse or continue exit directions derived from the same preset.
  • Use the Scrub media preset to move through a video or GIF as someone scrolls.
  • GIFs can move in steps; videos give the smoothest result.
  • Start top-of-page scrub media at the beginning when the page first loads.
  • Repeat scrubbed media playback across a scroll range for multiple visible cycles.
  • Nest wrappers with match-parent timing and join-parent animation controls.
  • Suggests animation styles based on the content inside.
  • Respects users who prefer reduced motion.
  • Lightweight front-end output.
  • No tracking and no outside asset requests.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this work with my blocks?

Usually yes. The wrapper can contain core blocks and most custom blocks.

Can I nest AniLibrary blocks?

Yes. Nesting gives you more control over different parts of your content.

Does it load scripts on every page?

No. Front-end assets only load on pages where AniLibrary is used.

What if a visitor prefers reduced motion?

AniLibrary automatically reduces motion for those users.

How do I remove an animation without losing the content?

Select the AniLibrary wrapper and use “Remove animation & keep content” in Animation Settings, or Ungroup.
