  1. Choose the animation style under Design:

    1. Choose the relevant style:

      • Wave: The text swirls in a wavy motion.

      • Reveal: The particles fly horizontally while revealing the text.

      • Swarm: The particles "explode" outward in a chaotic motion, quickly dispersing to reveal the text.

    2. Choose a Pattern for the particles from the dropdown.

  2. Depending on the style you chose, use the available settings to customize the animation:


  • Fill colors: Set the text color by clicking the color box next to Text.

  • Movement: Design the way the wave moves using the following settings:

    • Amplitude: Set how far the text moves from its starting point. Higher values create larger, more dynamic movement, while lower values keep the effect subtle.

    • Speed: Decide how quickly the wave moves.

    • Noise: Adjust the randomness of the wave movement. Higher values add a more chaotic, lively feel, while lower values keep the movement smooth.

    • Pause on hover: Select this checkbox to pause the animation when visitors hover over the element, allowing visitors to focus on the text.


  • Fill colors: Set the text color by clicking the color box next to Text. Then, decide how many colors you want in your particles – you can use the site's theme colors or custom colors you set on the spot.

  • Movement: Design the way particles move using the following settings:

    • Animation type: Decide if the particles fly in while revealing the text (In), or fly out while making the text disappear (Out).

    • Direction: Choose where the particle animation starts from (bottom, top left, etc.)

    • Animation duration: Determine the duration of the animation from start to finish.

    • Particle duration: Determine the duration of the particles' movement before they disappear.

    • Intensity: Decide how intensely the particles move in the direction you defined.

    • Wind angle: Set the angle of the invisible wind affecting the particle movement.

  • Size & opacity: Set the particle size and opacity for the start and end of the animation.


  • Fill colors: Set the text and particle color by clicking the color box next to Text.

  • Movement: Design the way particles move using the following settings:

    • Animation type: Decide if the particles swarm to reveal the text (In) or fly out while making the text disappear temporarily (Out).

    • Start position: Choose where the particle animation starts from (bottom, top left, etc.)

    • Animation duration: Drag the slider to determine the length of the animation (in seconds).

    • Intensity: Decide how intensely the particles move.
