Here are 20 Plug & Play CSS-only link hover effects for your next project! 

Subtle line animations can be a simple way to enhance your site experience through delightful micro-interactions.

Inspired and adapted for Webflow from: https://github.com/codrops/LineHoverStyles

*includes 21 effects, but 20 sounds cleaner.

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.

Hey Everyone, this is 16 css-only hover animations for links!
Animations no.01 & no.16  are made with embedded CSS code- you'll find the embeds at each belonging link.
Animation no.04 is made by simply changing the "hover state" of the link.
Animation no.15 is made partially by changing the hover state of the link-text (the gradient clipping to the bg) + a Webflow interaction of the link.

 First I thought to go for inspirations to tympanus.net for this project, but I saw that there's already a really cool cloneable for that: https://css-link-effects.webflow.io/, so I've searched across the web for inspirations to make different link animations from those.
For the link hover animation with squiggly lines all credits goes to Nikolai Bain: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLyyQ1XTNfA  
I hope you can use some of these links for your next Webflow sites!

A tutorial how you can quickly give any element in Webflow a magnetic effect. This is known especially from buttons of all kinds and is easy to implement with just one interaction, which you can then apply everywhere via a CSS class.

Jon Larson

Inspired by an interaction I saw online and wanted to build in Webflow. Background images are set on unique combo classes, each base class set with a size/filter/bg color animation. Mobile responsive with a click IX while the desktop is hover. Sized by width percentage for desktop and height on mobile.

Built on Finsweet client-first clone.

For the trick to work, you need to paste the custom CSS code from the embed field into your project. The arrow icon can be replaced by your own SVG image in the CSS code. After that, you may need to adjust the spacing and sizes in the CSS code. If you use em for the sizes, the icon will automatically adjust when you use a larger font size.

A responsive, CMS connected Webflow project to use as a self-hosted alternative to social 'link in bio' tools such as Linktree (linktr.ee). 

By hosting your own link in bio page, you benefit from centralised editing, have additional styling options and direct all social link traffic to your site, rather than a third party's. There have also been reports of accounts being penalised on Instagram for using third party link in bio apps such as Linktree.

The project is free to clone and comes with both CMS connected and static versions, as well as instructions.

Custom CSS to target only the "Current" link with Webflow's .w--current class. This changes the color on hover from the original (green) to an alternate color (purple) while leaving the other links unaffected.

This also uses Webflow IX to show an underline element on the hover of the links. Without the custom code the "Current" page link, on hover, would stay green.

Here is an example on a website that allows users to scroll down towards the bottom of the page, then trigger a link to the next page. 

The code making this possible is available for you to customize it with your own links to pages.
