A responsive, continuously scrolling marquee built from composable React components. It supports horizontal and vertical directions, RTL layouts, auto-filled repetitions, hover or keyboard pausing, looping, reverse playback, and optional gradient edge masks.

Usage

usage.tsx
import { Marquee, MarqueeContent, MarqueeEdge, MarqueeItem } from "@/components/ui/marquee";export function Example() {  return (    <Marquee side="left" pauseOnHover autoFill>      <MarqueeEdge side="left" size="sm" />      <MarqueeContent>        <MarqueeItem>React</MarqueeItem>        <MarqueeItem>TypeScript</MarqueeItem>        <MarqueeItem>Tailwind CSS</MarqueeItem>      </MarqueeContent>    </Marquee>  );}
  • Displaying continuously rotating logos, partner brands, testimonials, or product highlights.
  • Creating decorative scrolling announcement strips or technology stacks without manual duplication.
  • Using a vertical ticker or carousel-like motion with top-to-bottom or bottom-to-top movement.
  • Adding edge fades to visually soften where scrolling content enters and exits the viewport.

Examples

Logo strip with automatic filling

Repeats the content enough times to fill the viewport and pauses while the pointer is over the marquee.

logo-strip-with-automatic-filling.tsx
import { Marquee, MarqueeContent, MarqueeItem } from "@/components/ui/marquee";export function LogoStrip() {  return (    <Marquee autoFill pauseOnHover gap="2rem" speed={40}>      <MarqueeContent>        <MarqueeItem>Acme</MarqueeItem>        <MarqueeItem>Vertex</MarqueeItem>        <MarqueeItem>Northstar</MarqueeItem>      </MarqueeContent>    </Marquee>  );}

RTL scrolling announcements

Uses RTL direction and a reverse animation for a right-moving announcement track.

rtl-scrolling-announcements.tsx
import { Marquee, MarqueeContent, MarqueeItem } from "@/components/ui/marquee";export function AnnouncementTicker() {  return (    <Marquee side="right" dir="rtl" reverse loopCount={3} gap={"1.5rem"}>      <MarqueeContent>        <MarqueeItem>New release</MarqueeItem>        <MarqueeItem>Free shipping today</MarqueeItem>        <MarqueeItem>Limited-time offer</MarqueeItem>      </MarqueeContent>    </Marquee>  );}

Vertical technology ticker

Stacks items vertically and lets keyboard users press Space to pause or resume the animation.

vertical-technology-ticker.tsx
import { Marquee, MarqueeContent, MarqueeItem } from "@/components/ui/marquee";export function VerticalTicker() {  return (    <Marquee side="top" pauseOnKeyboard autoFill className="h-64">      <MarqueeContent>        <MarqueeItem>Design systems</MarqueeItem>        <MarqueeItem>Accessibility</MarqueeItem>        <MarqueeItem>Performance</MarqueeItem>      </MarqueeContent>    </Marquee>  );}

Marquee with gradient edge fades

Adds large decorative fades at both horizontal edges using custom edge elements.

marquee-with-gradient-edge-fades.tsx
import { Marquee, MarqueeContent, MarqueeEdge, MarqueeItem } from "@/components/ui/marquee";export function FadedMarquee() {  return (    <Marquee side="left" autoFill className="relative">      <MarqueeEdge side="left" size="lg" />      <MarqueeEdge side="right" size="lg" />      <MarqueeContent>        <MarqueeItem>Featured collection</MarqueeItem>        <MarqueeItem>Editor's pick</MarqueeItem>        <MarqueeItem>Customer favorite</MarqueeItem>      </MarqueeContent>    </Marquee>  );}

API reference

PropTypeDefaultDescription
MarqueeMarqueeProps—Root marquee component. Extends React.ComponentProps<"div"> and supports `asChild?: boolean` for rendering through Radix Slot.
side"left" | "right" | "top" | "bottom""left"Travel direction and orientation. `left` and `right` create horizontal motion; `top` and `bottom` create vertical motion.
dir"ltr" | "rtl"—Text direction used to select the horizontal RTL animation variants. If omitted, the value is resolved through Radix Direction context.
speednumber50Movement speed used to calculate animation duration. Larger values produce faster motion; values at or below zero are clamped internally for duration calculation.
delaynumber0Animation delay in seconds.
loopCountnumber0Number of animation iterations. `0` and `Infinity` are converted to an infinite CSS iteration count.
gapstring | number"1rem"Value assigned to the `--marquee-gap` CSS custom property and used for track spacing.
autoFillbooleanfalseDuplicates the content when it is smaller than the root so the available axis is filled.
pauseOnHoverbooleanfalsePauses content animation while the pointer is over the root group.
pauseOnKeyboardbooleanfalseMakes the root focusable and toggles paused state when the focused marquee receives the Space key.
reversebooleanfalseApplies reverse animation direction to marquee content.
asChildboolean—Renders the root through Radix Slot instead of a native `div`.
...divPropsReact.ComponentProps<"div">—All other native div attributes, including `children`, `className`, `id`, `style`, event handlers, and a forwarded `ref`.
MarqueeContentDivProps—Content track component. `DivProps` extends React.ComponentProps<"div"> and adds `asChild?: boolean`. It must be rendered inside `Marquee`.
MarqueeItemDivProps—Individual non-shrinking item wrapper. `DivProps` extends React.ComponentProps<"div"> and adds `asChild?: boolean`.
MarqueeEdgeMarqueeEdgeProps—Optional decorative gradient overlay. Extends DivProps and the variant props generated from the edge variants.
MarqueeEdge.side"left" | "right" | "top" | "bottom"—Edge placement and gradient direction. Unlike the root `side`, this is optional in the source type.
MarqueeEdge.size"default" | "sm" | "lg""default"Edge length: horizontal edges use widths of one-quarter, one-sixth, or one-third; vertical edges use corresponding heights.
MarqueeEdge.asChildboolean—Renders the edge through Radix Slot instead of a native `div`.
MarqueeEdge...divPropsReact.ComponentProps<"div">—All other native div attributes, including `className`, `style`, event handlers, and a forwarded `ref`.

Accessibility

  • The root renders with `role="marquee"` and `aria-live="off"`, so its continuously changing content is not announced as a live region.
  • Set `pauseOnKeyboard` to make the marquee focusable with `tabIndex={0}`; pressing Space prevents the default action and toggles the paused state.
  • The root includes focus-visible border, ring, and outline styles when keyboard pausing is enabled.
  • The duplicated secondary content track is rendered with `role="presentation"` and `aria-hidden="true"` to avoid exposing duplicate content to assistive technology.
  • The component applies the Tailwind `motion-reduce:animate-none` class to the root. Verify the resulting animation behavior in your project and provide a static alternative when motion-sensitive content is important.
  • `MarqueeEdge` is visual-only through `pointer-events-none`, but it does not set `aria-hidden`; add appropriate labeling or hiding when using a custom `asChild` element if needed.
