Add GSAP Animations to any Webflow Project (2025)
In late 2024, Webflow announced an exciting development: an acquisition and an official integration with GSAP (GreenSock Animation Platform), the wildly popular animation library trusted by developers worldwide. While we eagerly anticipate how this will revolutionize interactions within the Webflow Designer, we didn’t want to wait to bring the magic of GSAP to the Webflow community.
That’s why we’ve teamed up with the brilliant minds at Codrops to bring Webflow users a huge collection of pre-made GSAP animations. From text hovers and reveals to stunning highlights, these animations are designed to elevate your projects and can be added instantly to any project with a single click.

No Code, No Complexity – Just Add Attributes
Our GSAP-powered animations have been simplified for Webflow users. There’s no need to write a single line of code or deal with complex technical setups. Using our Booster app, you can apply these animations with ease by simply adding attributes to your text elements. That means you can customise the colors, speed and more directly through attributes. You can also add the scripts and attributes manually and without our app if that’s more your style - all the information to do this is provided in the article below.
Lean and Efficient Code with Smart Tracking
The Booster app takes care of everything for you. With a single installation of the GSAP script, the app dynamically loads only the dependencies you need for your specific effect. This means your Webflow project stays lean, avoiding unnecessary bloat and ensuring fast loading times.
1. GSAP Text Highlight Effects
