Animicro

Animicro lets you add high-end animations (Awwwards-style) with minimal performance impact. Enable modules in the panel, apply classes like .am-fade, .am-scale, or .am-slide-up in your Page Builder, and you’re done.

Philosophy: Utility-first. No complex interfaces, no timelines. Just classes and data-am-* attributes.

Each module has its own settings panel with live preview so you can tune duration, easing, delay, and activation margin without leaving the admin.

Pro modules (available with Animicro Pro)

Twelve premium modules, grouped in three families:

• Mouse Interactions — Magnet, Magnetic and Custom Cursor: elements that react to the visitor’s pointer.
• Premium text — Split Text, Scatter Text, Scramble Text and Text Reveal.
• Premium reveals — Clip Reveal, Grid Reveal, Image Parallax, Text Fill on Scroll and Spin.

Plus Smooth Scroll. Learn more at animicro.com.

Builder compatibility

Works with Elementor, Bricks, Breakdance, Oxygen, Divi, and Gutenberg. Dynamic inline CSS adapts per builder so elements stay visible inside editors and animations only run on the live frontend.

Advanced

Under Animicro → Advanced you can enable Respect Reduced Motion (skips JS-driven animations when the visitor prefers reduced motion) and Debug Mode (outlines .am-* elements and logs script timing in the browser console).

External Services

This plugin does not connect to any external services. All animation logic runs
locally in the visitor’s browser using JavaScript bundled with the plugin.

No data is collected, transmitted, or stored outside your WordPress installation.

Source Code

This plugin includes compiled JavaScript and CSS built with Vite from React (admin panel) and vanilla JS (frontend animations). The full, uncompressed source code is available at:
