GSAP Comes to Webflow: What This Means for Your Website

Webflow has just released a major update that brings the full power of GSAP (GreenSock Animation Platform) directly into its visual designer interface. For years, GSAP has been the industry standard for professional-grade animations on the web—and now, it’s natively integrated into Webflow.

This change represents a major leap forward in how we design and deliver interactive websites for our clients. Here's what you need to know.

What Is GSAP and Why Does It Matter?

GSAP is a powerful animation engine used by top developers and creatives around the world to build smooth, high-performance animations. Whether it’s subtle motion that enhances user flow or bold, expressive transitions that make a statement, GSAP is the go-to toolkit for motion design on the web.

Until now, incorporating GSAP into a Webflow project required writing custom code—adding extra complexity and setup time. That barrier is now gone.

GSAP Features Now Built into Webflow

With this new update, GSAP’s most powerful features are now available directly inside Webflow’s designer interface:

• ScrollTrigger: Trigger animations as the user scrolls, creating engaging, scroll-linked effects.
• SplitText: Animate text in granular ways—word by word, line by line, or even character by character.
• Staggered Animations: Bring elements into view with cascading, choreographed motion.
• Timeline Control: Chain multiple animations together for more dynamic, story-driven sequences.
• Performance Optimisation: GSAP is built for speed, ensuring animations run smoothly on all devices.

This integration gives us fine control over motion without ever needing to leave Webflow’s visual editor.

What This Means for You

This upgrade unlocks more creative flexibility, better performance, and faster delivery—all without additional complexity or cost.

For Existing Clients

If we’ve already built your site and you’d like to explore how animation could enhance it, now is a great time. We can add engaging motion to guide users, highlight content, or simply bring your brand to life.

For New Projects

From now on, these animation tools will be part of our standard toolkit. If we’re working together on a new website, you can expect richer, more dynamic interactions by default—without the need for custom code or plugins.

Why This Matters

Motion design isn’t just about making things move—it’s about creating flow, focus, and emotional connection. With GSAP fully integrated, we can:

• Deliver More Interactive, Polished Experiences
• Reduce Production Time and Complexity
• Craft Advanced Animations Without Technical Overhead

This update helps us work more efficiently and deliver better results for your brand.
