Installation

Usage

usage.tsx
import { AnimatedGradientText } from "@/registry/magicui/animated-gradient-text"export default function AnimatedGradientTextDemo() {  return (    <AnimatedGradientText      speed={2}      colorFrom="#4ade80"      colorTo="#06b6d4"      className="text-4xl font-semibold tracking-tight"    >      Fast Gradient    </AnimatedGradientText>  )}
  • Use for prominent hero headings or short promotional messages.
  • Use when you want a lightweight animated alternative to static accent text.
  • Use for energetic marketing copy, feature labels, or launch announcements.
  • Use with short text where the gradient motion remains easy to perceive.

Examples

Hero heading

Uses the animated gradient as a prominent page heading.

hero-heading.tsx
import { AnimatedGradientText } from "@/registry/magicui/animated-gradient-text"export default function HeroHeading() {  return (    <h1>      <AnimatedGradientText className="text-5xl font-bold tracking-tight">        Build something remarkable      </AnimatedGradientText>    </h1>  )}

Feature label

Adds animated emphasis to a short product label.

feature-label.tsx
import { AnimatedGradientText } from "@/registry/magicui/animated-gradient-text"export default function FeatureLabel() {  return (    <AnimatedGradientText      colorFrom="#f97316"      colorTo="#ec4899"      speed={1.5}      className="text-sm font-medium uppercase tracking-widest"    >      New feature    </AnimatedGradientText>  )}

Accessible announcement

Provides an accessible label while styling the visible announcement text.

accessible-announcement.tsx
import { AnimatedGradientText } from "@/registry/magicui/animated-gradient-text"export default function Announcement() {  return (    <AnimatedGradientText      aria-label="Early access is now available"      colorFrom="#a78bfa"      colorTo="#22d3ee"      className="text-2xl font-semibold"    >      Early access is now available    </AnimatedGradientText>  )}

API reference

PropTypeDefaultDescription
childrenReact.ReactNode—The text or React content rendered inside the span. Required.
colorFromstring#ffaa40The starting and ending color used by the animated gradient.
colorTostring#9c40ffThe middle color used by the animated gradient.
speednumber1Controls the gradient background size and animation presentation; larger values create a broader gradient span.
classNamestring—Optional classes merged onto the rendered span.
...propsReact.HTMLAttributes<HTMLSpanElement>—All other standard span HTML attributes, including id, style, aria-* attributes, data-* attributes, and event handlers.

Accessibility

  • The component renders its content in a span, so the visible text is available to assistive technologies as ordinary inline text.
  • Because the gradient is clipped to transparent text, verify sufficient contrast against the background, especially for small text.
  • Do not communicate meaning through color or animation alone; keep the text itself understandable.
  • Consider disabling or reducing the animation for users who prefer reduced motion with a project-level prefers-reduced-motion rule.
