ScrollReveal is a lightweight JavaScript library (5.7 kB min+gzip) for animating DOM elements as they scroll into view, using CSS transitions and transforms. It provides a simple singleton API where you call ScrollReveal().reveal() with CSS selectors to create scroll-triggered reveal effects.

Use cases

• animate elements as they scroll into view
• add fade-in effects to page sections on scroll
• create scroll-triggered reveal animations without heavy dependencies
• make landing pages more dynamic with entrance animations
• reveal cards or images progressively while scrolling
• add subtle motion to a website without a full animation framework

When to choose

• you want tiny, dependency-free scroll animations in plain JavaScript or any framework
• you need simple declarative reveal effects via CSS selectors
• you want a mature library with a stable API and extensive documentation

When to avoid

• you need complex timeline-based or physics-based animation choreography
• you require an MIT or permissive license for redistribution (ScrollReveal is GPLv3 with paid commercial options)
• you need scroll-linked (scrubbed) animations rather than one-time reveal triggers
