Animicro vs Auto AnimateImage

Animicro lets you add high-end animations (Awwwards-style) with minimal performance impact. Enable modules in the panel, apply classes like .am-fade, .am-scale, or .am-slide-up in your Page Builder, and you’re done. Philosophy: Utility-first. No complex interfaces, no timelines. Just classes and data-am-* attributes. Free modules Fade (.am-fade) — Smooth appearance with opacity Scale (.am-scale) — Scales from small to full size Slide Up (.am-slide-up) — Slides up when appearing Slide Down (.am-slide-down) — Slides down when appearing Slide Left (.am-slide-left) — Slides in toward the left (from the right edge) Slide Right (.am-slide-right) — Slides in toward the right (from the left edge) Skew Up (.am-skew-up) — Slides up with a slight skew that straightens as it stops (Stripe / Vercel-style) Float (.am-float) — Infinite soft up/down floating motion (continuous) Pulse (.am-pulse) — Infinite gentle scale pulse — breathing-like (continuous) Highlight (.am-highlight) — Animated marker highlight behind text on entry Typewriter (.am-typewriter) — Types text character by character with a blinking cursor Zoom Hover (.am-hover-zoom) — Image scales up smoothly on hover (parent needs overflow: hidden) Each module has its own settings panel with live preview so you can tune duration, easing, delay, and activation margin without leaving the admin. Pro modules (available with Animicro Pro) Blur, Stagger, Grid Reveal, Text Fill on Scroll, Parallax, Image Parallax (window effect), Split Text, and Text Reveal. Plus Smooth Scroll and a Cheat Sheet reference panel. Learn more at animicro.com. Builder compatibility Works with Elementor, Bricks, Breakdance, Oxygen, Divi, and Gutenberg. Dynamic inline CSS adapts per builder so elements stay visible inside editors and animations only run on the live frontend. Advanced Under Animicro → Advanced you can enable Respect Reduced Motion (skips JS-driven animations when the visitor prefers reduced motion) and Debug Mode (outlines .am-* elements and logs script timing in the browser console). External Services This plugin does not connect to any external services. All animation logic runs locally in the visitor’s browser using JavaScript bundled with the plugin. No data is collected, transmitted, or stored outside your WordPress installation. Source Code This plugin includes compiled JavaScript and CSS built with Vite from React (admin panel) and vanilla JS (frontend animations).
