Also called Heart animation, Twitter heart, Favorite toggle
A heart icon fills with color and bursts small particles or pulses when clicked.
Use for
Like/favorite buttons
Add a "Like / Heart Burst" animation (also called a heart animation or favorite toggle) to [where].
When it is liked, the heart should fill with color and pop with a springy bounce while a ring and small dots burst outward and fade, all quick and playful; unliking just empties the heart quietly.
Keep it a real toggle button with its pressed state, and play the burst only when turning it on.
Also called Floating particles, Particle field
Many small dots drift, connect or react to the pointer across the background.
Use for
Hero and section backgrounds
Add a "Particles" background (also called floating particles or a particle field) to [where].
Small dots of different sizes should float and drift slowly in gentle, wandering paths, each at its own pace: calm and airy.
Keep the number of dots modest so it stays light on slower devices, pause it when it is off screen, and stop it for users who prefer reduced motion.
Also called Glitter, Twinkle particles, Sparkles Text, Text Sparkle Particle Highlight
Small bright specks flicker in and out around text or a section.
Use for
Headlines, premium accents
Add a "Sparkles" effect (also called glitter or twinkle particles) to [where].
Small star-shaped specks should pop in, twinkle and fade out around the text at scattered spots and random moments: light and quick.
Keep the sparkles decorative and hidden from screen readers, never cover the text itself, and stop them for users who prefer reduced motion.
Also called Explosive Letter Burst, Scatter Gather Letters
Letters fly apart on hover and return, or burst outward on entry.
Add a "Letter Scatter" hover effect (also called scatter gather letters or an explosive letter burst) to [where].
When the pointer moves over the text, each letter should fly a short way out in its own direction with a little spin, then smoothly gather back into the word when the pointer leaves.
Keep the word's space in the layout fixed while the letters move, keep it read as one word by screen readers, and show the same effect on keyboard focus.
