Scroll-Driven Animations: CSS scroll-based animations

·1 min read

Introduction

Scroll-Driven Animations enable animations that respond to user scroll using only CSS. No Intersection Observer, no libraries, no JavaScript.

Scroll Timeline

The new scroll-timeline concept defines a progression axis based on container scroll. Animations are linked to this timeline.

Basic Syntax

Use animation-timeline: scroll() to link an animation to scroll. Control the range with animation-range to define when it starts and ends.

Practical Examples

Progress bars, shrinking headers, images that fade in on scroll, and parallax effects entirely in CSS.

View Timeline

view-timeline links the animation to when an element enters or leaves the viewport, perfect for scroll-triggered entry animations.

Conclusion

Scroll-Driven Animations eliminate JavaScript for scroll-based animations. At Vynta, we create captivating scroll experiences with pure CSS.
