Scroll-Linked SVG Drawing
CSS scroll-driven animations let you progress an animation as the user scrolls, with no JavaScript. A classic effect is 'drawing' an SVG path by animating stroke-dashoffset along a scroll-timeline.
- Animate stroke-dashoffset to draw paths on scroll
- Use animation-timeline: scroll() — no JS needed
- Combine with view() for element-entry triggers
Setting It Up
Convert your line art to an SVG path, set up the dash array, then bind the animation to a scroll or view timeline. Provide a static fallback for browsers without support.
- Convert line art to a single SVG path
- Set stroke-dasharray to the path length
- Fallback: show the completed path if unsupported
Frequently Asked Questions
Can scroll-driven animations draw an SVG path?
Yes — animate stroke-dashoffset from the path length to 0 along a scroll-timeline to create a draw-on-scroll effect without JavaScript.
What's the fallback for unsupported browsers?
Browsers without scroll-timeline simply show the animation's final state, so design the end frame to look correct on its own.
