10+ GSAP DrawSVGPlugin.js Examples
Bring your SVGs to life with DrawSVGPlugin.js, a GSAP plugin that animates strokes as if they’re being drawn in real time. This collection highlights creative uses - from hand-drawn logos and icons to animated charts and illustrations - all with smooth, performant motion.
Examples

Interactive Cicada Genomics Landing Page
This immersive landing page uses an intricate sequence of vector animations and responsive viewport styling to tell a visual story. Built on top of GSAP ScrollTrigger and MotionPathPlugin, it transitions users through interactive text slides and morphs a tree diagram into organic butterfly wings. Smooth motion path travels, audio ambiance, and SVG stroke-drawing create a highly tailored cinematic web experience. (Requires: gsap.js, observer.js, splittext.js, drawsvgplugin.js, motionpathplugin.js, scrolltrigger.js, customease.js)
See the Pen Interactive Cicada Genomics Landing Page.

Sci-Fi Reticule Play Button
This is a Sci-Fi Reticule Play Button. It replaces static interaction states with an immersive, HUD-like sequence. Its function is to trigger a process (like loading data or initializing an app) while providing real-time visual feedback through an animated percentage counter and expanding SVG geometry. (Requires: GSAP, DrawSVGPlugin, ScrambleTextPlugin)
See the Pen Sci-Fi Reticule Play Button.

GSAP SVG Circle Unwrapping Animation
This GSAP SVG Circle Unwrapping Animation is a masterclass in visual sleight of hand. Instead of mathematically morphing a curved path into a straight line (which often results in distorted, unappealing stroke widths), this component creates a seamless illusion. It splits a circle into two halves and synchronizes their movement with a dynamically generated straight line, making it appear as though the circle is being physically unrolled or “unwrapped” like a ribbon. (Requires: GSAP, DrawSVGPlugin, MotionPathPlugin)
See the Pen GSAP SVG Circle Unwrapping Animation.

Animated Grenade-Style SVG Checkbox
This interactive checklist showcases a sophisticated “delete” micro-interaction, driven by a gsap.timeline that is triggered by a minimal JavaScript state machine. The timeline precisely choreographs a complex sequence of tweens, including a unique checkmark effect created with the DrawSVG plugin, to animate SVG <line> elements and the <label> into a fluid and satisfying animation.
See the Pen Animated Grenade-Style SVG Checkbox.

Draggable Drink Water Slider with GSAP and SVG
An interactive SVG slider using GSAP Draggable, where the drag progress animates not only the filling of a bottle via an SVG mask but also creates a liquid sloshing effect using modifiers.
See the Pen Draggable Drink Water Slider with GSAP and SVG.

Animated Pie Chart (V2)
A demo showcasing an adaptive, unique “ring” pie chart design using SVG circles, where each segment is animated and colored from a predefined JavaScript array.
See the Pen Animated Pie Chart (V2).

GSAP FLIP Transform Button to 3D Coin
Utilizing the powerful GSAP FLIP technique to flawlessly transform a 2D button into a highly detailed 3D object (a spinning coin) created with the lightweight Zdog library, ensuring a smooth transition between DOM and 3D graphics.
See the Pen GSAP FLIP Transform Button to 3D Coin.

Insta-hearts ❤ (GSAP MotionPath)
This interactive demo leverages GSAP’s MotionPathPlugin to generate unique, randomized cubic Bézier paths on click, ensuring a fresh and highly organic animation sequence every time.
See the Pen Insta-hearts ❤ (GSAP MotionPath).

Fingerprint Scan Animation
Explore an interactive SVG fingerprint animation brought to life by the GSAP DrawSVGPlugin and a clever use of a GIF-textured stroke. Hovering over the button triggers the layered, staggered path animation for a satisfying “scan” reveal.
See the Pen Fingerprint Scan Animation.

Rainbow Loop Animation (Click to Pause)
This is an example of efficient animation composition using gsap.timeline, which synchronizes independent motion phases (.from() and .to()) of multiple <path> elements to create one complex loop.
See the Pen Rainbow Loop Animation (Click to Pause).

Parallax TechTrades™ Holographic Trading Card
A feature-rich web animation showcasing an interactive 3D card with a hover-based parallax effect, a card-flipping animation, and dynamic SVG drawing and lighting effects all orchestrated by the powerful GSAP library.
See the Pen Parallax TechTrades™ Holographic Trading Card.
