Motion (formerly Framer Motion) is a production-grade open source animation library for JavaScript, React, and Vue, built on a hybrid engine combining the Web Animations API with a JavaScript fallback. It provides declarative APIs for springs, gestures, layout transitions, scroll-linked effects, and timelines with a tiny, tree-shakable footprint.
Use cases
- animate ui components in react
- add scroll-triggered and parallax animations to a website
- create spring physics micro-interactions
- animate layout changes and shared element transitions
- build drag and gesture-driven interactions
- animate svg and webgl elements with javascript
- add exit animations when elements leave the dom
When to choose
- you need declarative, state-driven animations in React or Vue
- you want hardware-accelerated scroll-linked and gesture animations with a simple API
- you need layout/shared-element transitions without manual FLIP code
- bundle size and performance matter more than heavier alternatives like GSAP
When to avoid
- you only need simple self-contained hover or color transitions, where plain CSS is lighter
- your project doesn't use React, Vue, or vanilla JavaScript on the web
- you need server-side or non-browser animation
