14 JavaScript Morphing Effects
Bring your interfaces to life with JavaScript morphing effects - dynamic transitions that reshape SVGs, icons, and elements into new forms. This collection showcases creative ways to animate transformations for buttons, loaders, illustrations, and more using libraries like GSAP, Anime.js, and custom logic.

Animated Share Interaction
A smooth, tactile micro-interface that saves space by hiding sharing options until needed, delighting the user with high-quality animation.
High Five Button
A delightful “High Five” interaction button powered by GSAP and MorphSVGPlugin.
Morphing SVG Button with GSAP
A fluid SVG interaction powered by GSAP’s MorphSVGPlugin that seamlessly deforms a button upon hover. The animation synchronizes the morphing of the container’s geometry with the underlying textPath baseline, allowing the label to curve naturally alongside the background shape via a reversible timeline.
GSAP Flip Plugin Demo
This demo is a showcase of GSAP’s Flip plugin, a powerful tool for animating layout changes. The Flip.getState() and Flip.from() methods are used to seamlessly transition between four different CSS layouts, creating a complex and fluid morphing animation with minimal code.
Animated Slider with Morphing Effects
This cinematic slider interface leverages GSAP timelines and sophisticated clip-path polygon transformations to orchestrate fluid transitions between full-screen slides and an overlay navigation system.
Image Displacement with Three.js
A texture morphing effect with 3D rotation on hover, implemented using Three.js and shaders (GLSL). The fragment shader uses the snoise3 function (simplex noise) to create an organic mixing mask for blending two images.
Pagination with Morphing Numbers
This interactive pagination features a fluid numerical transition achieved solely through CSS clip-path animations, where JavaScript toggles the body class to trigger the complex morphing sequence on the SVG elements.
Button-to-Modal Transition Animation with GSAP
Dynamic “button-to-modal” transition animation built with vanilla JavaScript and GSAP, featuring adaptive scaling calculation for correct display on all screen sizes.
Morphing Shape with Spinning Color Stroke
Complex Path Morphing at the intersection of technologies: the demo uses the GSAP library to interpolate coordinates sampled from SVG paths and renders the result with frame-by-frame precision using the Canvas API.
The Persistence of Memory (GSAP Page Transition)
A mesmerizing page transition effect that uses GSAP to morph an SVG path (a custom curtain reveal) to smoothly shift between the main content and the detailed view.
WebGL Morphing Ball with Three.js and GSAP
A striking shader morphing implementation built on Three.js/WebGL, where smooth 3D sphere deformation is created by procedural noise in the vertex shader, with dynamics controlled via GSAP and uniform variables.
Countdown to Love (GSAP Morphing)
Dynamic grid animation with GSAP timeline sequencing - pixel-perfect numeric countdown transitions and shape morphing with optimized performance.
Three.js Particle Morphing Animation
Powered by Three.js and Anime.js, this demo showcases complex particle morphing between six different shapes with smooth, procedurally generated transitions and customizable color schemes.
