Animated Text Highlight Components
Dev Design Library indexes 21 Animated text highlight components from 15 open-source UI libraries, with the most coming from Animations (Svelte), Aceternity UI, UI Lab, Velora UI and Sona UI. Each one links to its page with the source code, a live preview where available, the library license and the install command. These are the text highlight components tagged as animated: motion on hover, on scroll or on load, usually built with CSS transitions or Framer Motion. Text highlight components belong to the Text group.
