What is the CSS Animated Text Generator?
Generate CSS text animations: typing effect, word cycling, glitch, fade-in-words, and more. Copy the complete keyframes and HTML.
Everything runs locally in your browser. Adjust the controls above, preview instantly, and copy clean, production-ready CSS — no account, no upload.
Using the CSS Animated Text Generator
Everything lives in the panel at the top of this page. There is nothing to install — it all runs right here in your browser.
Choose an effect
Select from typing cursor, word flip, glitch, fade-in words, wave, or colour shift. The preview shows the animation on your text.
Enter your text
Type the text you want animated. For word-cycling effects, enter each word on a separate line.
Copy CSS and HTML
Click Copy to get the keyframes, base styles, and the HTML structure needed for the effect to work.
What the generated code looks like
Clean, production-ready CSS — no vendor bloat, no unnecessary declarations.
/* Typing cursor effect */
.typewriter {
overflow: hidden;
white-space: nowrap;
border-right: 2px solid #6C2EF5;
animation:
typing 3s steps(30) both,
blink 0.75s step-end infinite;
width: fit-content;
}
@keyframes typing {
from { width: 0 }
to { width: 100% }
}
@keyframes blink {
0%, 100% { border-color: transparent }
50% { border-color: #6C2EF5 }
}Animated text effects are best used on headlines and hero sections. Avoid them on body text or any content the user needs to read quickly.
Pro tips for better results
Limit animated text to one element per page
Two or more text animations competing for attention are distracting. Pick one hero element for the effect.
The typing effect requires a fixed character count in steps()
steps(N) in the typing animation should match the character count of your text. For "Hello World" (11 characters), use steps(11). Mismatched values cause the cursor to jump.
Always include prefers-reduced-motion fallback
Replace text animations with a static display when prefers-reduced-motion: reduce is set. Some users experience discomfort or motion sickness from animated text.
