Animated React Backgrounds

A machined dot grid lit by slow waves of light, with a pointer lens and click ripples.

A seamless procedural concrete surface drawn once to canvas and blended over anything.

A gradient quantised to a few tones by an 8x8 Bayer matrix — offset then quantised, dithered in linear light, one cell per device pixel.

A live Gray-Scott solver as a background plate — coral, mitosis and maze are the same two equations at different feed and kill rates.

Two photographs interleaved in hard-edged strips that wipe between each other as the pointer crosses the plate.

Particles carried through a divergence-free curl-noise field, so the frame never drains into a few basins.

A rotated print screen that swells into a pool of light under the pointer, with the gamma actually done right.

Water caustics computed from the real focusing condition, so the bright filaments land where the physics puts them.

A survey map of terrain that never existed, traced live with marching squares and drifting underfoot.

Two stripe layers a fraction of a degree apart, generating a shifting fringe field under the cursor.

GPU fractal noise drifting through a gradient light field, with no JS loop.

Layered SVG line-work flowing from two incommensurable sine waves.

Floating orbs whose size, blur, opacity and speed all derive from one depth value.

A tile field that leans toward the pointer and brightens with proximity.

Gooey metaball blobs that fuse and split as they drift, with a specular sheen.

Scanlines, aperture grille, rolling refresh and vignette over any content.

A canvas dot grid that bulges and brightens away from the cursor.

Slow conic light beams rotating behind content, CSS-only and compositor-friendly.

A subtle animated film-grain texture layered over any section via canvas.

A light beam that continuously travels around a card's border.

A soft blurred blob that trails the cursor with spring-smoothed lag.

A grid of dots that pulses outward in concentric ripples, drawn on canvas.

Layered translucent wave ribbons scrolling at different speeds for a fluid mesh feel.

Soft, hue-shifting color fields that drift behind a hero like ambient aurora light.

A slow-drifting colored noise wash rendered at low resolution and upscaled smooth.

A tilted, endlessly scrolling grid floor that recedes toward the horizon.

A full-bleed radial glow that tracks the cursor with zero re-renders.

A three-depth-layer field of drifting, twinkling stars with true parallax speed.

Oversized, near-invisible ticker rows scrolling behind the fold as ambient texture.
