Animating SVG with Popmotion
Popmotion provides low-level animation primitives that developers compose into custom SVG animation behaviors.

Supports PNG, JPG, BMP, WEBP up to 5MB
Low-Level Primitives Over a Fixed API
Rather than offering a fixed, high-level animation API, Popmotion provides composable low-level primitives like animate, spring, and value streams that developers combine to build exactly the custom SVG animation behavior needed, trading some initial convenience for far greater flexibility.

Driving SVG Attributes from Value Streams
A Popmotion value stream can subscribe directly to an SVG attribute, updating properties like stroke-dashoffset or a path's d attribute on every animation frame, giving developers precise, imperative control over exactly how and when an SVG element's appearance changes during an animation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Popmotion a good choice for a simple, one-off SVG animation?
It can be more setup than necessary for very simple cases — Popmotion's low-level primitives shine most for custom, complex animation behaviors that a fixed high-level API can't easily express.
Does Popmotion work well with React for animating SVG?
Yes, Popmotion's primitives integrate well with React's rendering model and in fact serve as underlying building blocks used by some higher-level React animation libraries.
