Creating Elastic And Bounce Effects With Expressive Animator - Smashing Magazine

"In the world of modern web design, SVG images are used everywhere, from illustrations to icons to background effects, and are universally prized for their crispness and lightweight size. While static SVG images play an important role in web design, most of the time their true potential is unlocked only when they are combined with motion. Few things add more life and personality to a website than a well-executed SVG animation."

"However, anyone who has dived into animating SVGs knows the technical hurdles involved. Creating a convincing elastic or bounce effect traditionally requires handling complex CSS keyframes or wrestling with JavaScript animation libraries. Even when using an SVG animation editor, it will most likely require you to manually add the keyframes and adjust the easing functions between them, which can become a time-consuming process of trial and error, no matter the level of experience you have."

SVG images provide crisp, lightweight visuals used for illustrations, icons, and backgrounds, but their full potential emerges when combined with motion. Elastic and bounce effects impart realism and enhance engagement. Traditional creation of those effects requires complex CSS keyframes, JavaScript libraries, or manual easing adjustments, making the process time-consuming and error-prone. Expressive Animator automates elastic and bounce easing, reducing required keyframes and bypassing manual curve editing. Creators can produce lively, natural-feeling SVG animations in seconds, saving substantial time and effort while delivering more engaging and memorable motion experiences for websites.
