Scroll Reveal Suite
An architecture-studio portfolio showcasing six reveal techniques: mask-slide, lift, scale-curtain, clip, wipe, and blur dissolve.
Scroll Reveal Suite the 7th of 12 designs in the 12 CSS Scroll Animations collection. The design pairs CSS styling with a small amount of JavaScript for interactivity. Copy the HTML, CSS and JavaScript panels below into your project — the JS is self-contained, has zero dependencies, and is safe to drop into any framework (React, Vue, Svelte, plain HTML). The design honours prefers-reduced-motion and uses real semantic markup, so it ships accessibility-ready out of the box.
