20 Link Effects

20 Line Hover Animations

Let site visitors preview external links by hovering over the text. This plug-and-play feature allows you to get a link preview without leaving :)

How it works:
It extracts external links on load, grabs a screenshot then reveals the preview on hover. 

Since the card's position is calculated using custom code - it works with inline links and link blocks.

Just change the external link, and the preview will be updated automatically. Replace the demo screenshot API I've used with your own on live builds.

The project also includes a static version where you can manually upload a preview if you prefer—inspired by https://uiw.tf components. Fully built-in Webflow.

We build a cool parallax blur scrolling animation that is great to use in your portfolio. Especially as a web designer, you often make longer screenshots of your client projects, which can be showcased very well with this scrolling effect. I use a blurry background, which is basically the same image as in the foreground, but blurred by its filter and gives the whole design a great mood.
The project is as always free to clone in my Webflow Showcases!

This is a cool project that I found in Code Pen.
I tried to do it in Webflow and learned along the way.

A 3D scroll animation that lets you slowly rotate a tablet towards the viewer while scrolling. You can even use animated videos instead of a static image. I use this setup in one of my case studies in my portfolio.

This is a hover effect for a portfolio card. When hovered, the card image expands and fades into a video. This has been an effective technique to give a glimpse of each project to the user. An infinite marquee is then overlaid to create a slick effect. 

You can easily modularize this by connecting to your CMS.

This is a fun interaction with an image trailing effect. The idea is to follow the mouse and show a trail of images.

This effect uses vanilla JavaScript to paint images when hovering over links within a canvas element.
