Website animation examples
401 website animations from live websites, each credited to its source.
Good website animation does a job: it shows where something came from, what changed, or what to look at next. As you watch these, notice what moves and what stays still, because the strongest ones animate one idea rather than everything on the page.

Questions
What makes a good website animation?
It has a reason to move. Good animation shows where something came from, confirms an action or points at what comes next, and it stays quick enough not to make anyone wait. Animation that only decorates tends to get in the way after the first visit.
What are most website animations built with?
On hand-picked sites, GSAP leads for choreographed motion, often with Lenis for smooth scrolling, Framer Motion is common in React projects, and Three.js handles anything in real-time 3D. The web design trends report counts each one across the library.
What are good examples of website animations?
Three of the highest rated in the library: Liquid-metal terminal intro that melts into a chrome mascot (adamperlis.com); Stone that shatters into shards to open a project (guillaumecolombel.fr); Retro OS window-based navigation with draggable components (tostato.cafe). The rest of this page shows more, each credited to its source.

Are these from real websites?
Yes. Each one was recorded from a live site and credited to it. With an account, you can open one to see it in full, along with similar elements and a link to the site.
