Use AI to add animation effects

Last Update: January 14, 2025

Motion effects are a great way to make your webpages easier to navigate, more lively and better at driving user engagement and conversion. Unfortunately, adding these animation effects can be difficult and time consuming. Elementor AI can greatly simplify from process.

Add animation effects

Note
We recommend using Elementor Pro to take advantage of the full array of motion effects.

Elementor AI allows you to describe, in plain English, what animation effects you want while Elementor AI takes care of setting the correct options for you. 

To add animation effects with Elementor AI:

Note
In this example. We’ll add an image that will move around when visitors hover over the cursor over it. 
  1. Drag an Image widget to the canvas. For details, see Add elements to a page.

  6. In the AI window, in the text box, enter Move around on hover.
    Tip
    The prompt should contain a specific effect you want to occur. For instance, if you prompt that you want a scrolling effect the AI will pick a scrolling effect whereas if you say that you want an image to Fade out, when the user scrolls, the AI will apply the fade out effect.
