three.js
JavaScript 3D library
three.js is a lightweight and easy-to-use JavaScript 3D library with its own default WebGL renderer. It works by creating a scene with a camera and a geometric cube, the latter of which is added to the scene. This will become the animated object within the scene. A WebGL renderer is created for the scene and the camera, with an added viewport to the document.body element. Finally, the cube is animated within the scene for the camera. A plethora of examples can be found in the project’s website (https://threejs.org/) which use Canvas 2D, SVG and CSS3D renderers that the library also provides. -

Manim
A community-maintained Python framework for creating animations
A community-maintained Python library for creating mathematical animations. Manim is a free and open-source project originally written by Grant Sanderson. It is now maintained by the Manim Community and permissively released under the MIT license. Manim was originally created by Grant Sanderson as a personal project and for use in his YouTube channel, 3Blue1Brown. As his channel gained popularity, many grew to like the style of his animations and wanted to use manim for their own projects. However, as manim was only intended for personal use, it was very difficult for other users to install and use it. Manim, or ManimCE refers to the community-maintained version of the library. This is the version documented on this website; the package name on PyPI is manim. ManimGL is the latest released version of the library developed by Grant “3b1b” Sanderson. It has more experimental features and breaking changes between versions are not documented. -

GLMixer
Graphic Live Mixer
GLMixer performs real time graphical blending of several movie clips and of computer generated graphics. Drop video files in the mixing workspace and place them in a circular area to change their opacity ; if you selects two videos, moving them together performs a fading transition. This principle generalizes to a large number of videos. Direct interaction with the video allows to be fast and reactive, and to move and deform them on screen. The output of your operations is shown in the output window, typically displayed in full-screen on an external monitor or a projector. But the output can also be saved as a video file. Control GLMixer through network using OpenSoundControl, and generate graphics with ShaderToy GLSL code. Download : https://sourceforge.net/projects/glmixer/files/ Please note GLMixer is discontinued and superseded by vimix https://brunoherbelin.github.io/vimix/ -

CountUp.js
Animates a numerical value by counting to it
CountUp.js is a dependency-free, lightweight JavaScript class that can be used to quickly create animations that display numerical data in a more interesting way. Install via npm/yarn using the package name countup.js. Despite its name, CountUp can count in either direction, depending on the start and end values that you pass. CountUp.js supports all browsers. MIT license. CountUp v2 is distributed as an ES6 module because it is the most standardized and most widely compatible module for browsers, though a UMD module is also included. To run module-enabled scripts locally, you'll need a simple local server setup, because otherwise you may see a CORS error when your browser tries to load the script as a module. CountUp is also wrapped as a UMD module in ./dist/countUp.umd.js and it exposes CountUp as a global variable on the window scope. -

Monster Mash
New Sketch-Based Modeling and Animation Tool
Monster Mash is a playful, research-grade 2D-to-3D modeling and animation tool that turns quick pen strokes into lively, deformable characters in seconds. You sketch a silhouette and interior strokes to hint at limbs or structure, then “inflate” the drawing into a volumetric, puppet-like mesh that preserves the feel of the original art. The interface favors immediacy: draw, inflate, pose, and record motion directly in the canvas, without manual rigging, weight painting, or complicated asset pipelines. Under the hood it builds a lightweight surface and auto-assigns handles so you can grab and move parts intuitively, with smooth deformations propagating across the body. Because it runs interactively, artists iterate rapidly—blocking poses, trying alternate proportions, or recording short performances—before exporting results downstream. It’s equally useful for education, previs, and indie production where fast iteration trumps photorealism. -

MixItUp is open source and free to use for non-commercial, educational and non-profit use. For use in commercial projects, a commercial license is required. Most commonly, MixItUp is applied to a "container" of "target" elements, which could be a portfolio of projects, a list of blog posts, a selection of products, or any kind of UI where filtering and/or sorting would be advantageous. Targets can be filtered using any valid selector e.g. '.category-a', and are sorted via optional custom data attributes e.g. 'data-order'. -

WOW.js
Reveal CSS animation as you scroll down a page
Reveal animations when you scroll. Easily customize animation settings like style, delay, length, offset, iterations, etc. By default, you can use it to trigger animate.css animations. But you can easily change the settings to your favorite animation library. Smaller than other JavaScript parallax plugins, like Scrollorama (they do fantastic things, but can be too heavy for simple needs). Super simple to install, and works with animate.css, so if you already use it, that will be very fast to setup. Fast execution and lightweight code, the browser will like it. It just take seconds to install and use WOW.js! Once purchased on UpLabs, you’ll receive a commercial license PDF and be all set to use WOW.js in your commercial applications. If you want to use WOW.js to develop commercial sites, themes, projects, and applications, the Commercial license is the appropriate license. With this option, your source code is kept proprietary. -

Vizzu
Library for animated data visualizations and data stories
Vizzu is a free, open-source Javascript/C++ library utilizing a generic dataviz engine that generates many types of charts and seamlessly animates between them. It can be used to create static charts but more importantly, it is designed for building animated data stories and interactive explorers as Vizzu enables showing different perspectives of the data that the viewers can easily follow due to the animation. Create a placeholder element that will contain the rendered chart. The Vizzu constructor has to load Vizzu's WebAssembly module asynchronously to prevent blocking the whole page. Because of this, any method except animate() will throw an exception while the library is not initialized. There is an initializing promise in the Vizzu class, which will resolve when initialization is finished. You can call all methods after this promise is resolved. -

Hamburgers
Tasty CSS-animated Hamburgers
Hamburgers is a collection of tasty CSS-animated hamburger icons. Also included is the source as a Sass library. It’s modular and customizable, so cook up your own hamburger. The hamburger button belongs inside the <nav> so that assistive technologies will be able to locate the navigation, and to allow these users to easily locatate the hamburger button, without having to search up and down the DOM, once they realize they've found themselves in an empty navigation. Animations use CSS3 3D transforms (translate3d whenever possible for GPU acceleration), which is supported by most browsers (not supported by IE9 and older and Opera Mini). Wanna work with ems or rems instead of px? Just change all the px values to the unit of your choice. Note: Be consistent (all px or all ems), otherwise it may break, the math behind the customization will fail if it attempts to perform operations with values of different units. -

PersonaLive
Expressive Portrait Image Animation for Live Streaming
PersonaLive is an open-source diffusion-based portrait animation framework focused on generating expressive, long-duration animated sequences in real time, primarily for live streaming or interactive applications. It leverages deep generative models that condition on a static reference image and a driving input (such as motion or expression cues) to produce a seamless animated portrait sequence that can run indefinitely without segmentation artifacts. The framework prioritizes low-latency and streamable output, making it suitable for real-time creative workflows, broadcast overlays, or interactive avatars on consumer-grade GPUs. PersonaLive’s architecture balances visual quality and efficiency by combining motion encoding, temporal modules, and hybrid implicit control signals to preserve identity and stable expression through long sequences.
