The full template library
Feature Showcase, Product Story and Portfolio Reveal — pre-tagged, pre-styled starter stacks you edit natively. (Minimal is free.)
WordPress scroll-animation plugin
Create animation effects like the pros with Scroll Studio by IWD. Scroll Studio is a lightweight but powerful animation engine for WordPress websites. The studio lets you create “animation recipes” that you can use in your project.
How it works
Creating professional page elements for a website takes three steps — and the free version comes with two core effects to build with.
A three-pane editor lives right inside wp-admin. Pick an effect, tune every parameter, and watch it scrub in a live preview. The Studio hands you a small, content-free JSON recipe — motion, and nothing else.
Drop in a ready-made template (content and tags already in place, edit it natively), or tag elements you already built in the editor you already use. Either way the plugin writes the data-ss-* tags for you.
The runtime binds the motion to your content. Because the recipe carries motion only, your markup stays native and SEO-safe — fully reversible, so removing the tag leaves your page exactly as you built it.
Need more options?
Take a look at what Pro opens up: a robust library of effects, templates and tuning tools for building the whole look, not just one section.
Feature Showcase, Product Story and Portfolio Reveal — pre-tagged, pre-styled starter stacks you edit natively. (Minimal is free.)
Clip-stack, reveal, parallax, pin-horizontal, text-stagger, SVG line-draw, shape mask-reveal and SVG shape-mask — every effect, fully tunable in the embedded Studio.
New effects and templates we ship land in Pro automatically, for as long as your licence is active. Your library keeps growing at no extra cost.
Set different parameter values for desktop, tablet and mobile from a single recipe — a gentler slide on phones, a shorter pace on tablets. The runtime swaps looks as the viewport crosses each breakpoint.
Save any tuned effect as a reusable look — motion only, never content — and apply it anywhere. Your library of signature moves, one click away, per-breakpoint overrides included.
One-click updates straight from wp-admin, delivered from our own update server. Your licence keeps them flowing.
Exports carry the animation only — your content and markup stay exactly as you wrote them. SEO-safe, clean hand-off, and nothing to unpick if you ever remove it.
A lightweight MIT runtime, built entirely from scratch — self-contained, and licensed so it stays yours. It keeps running whether or not you renew.
The effects library
Every effect is tunable live in the embedded Studio and exports as a tiny motion recipe. Fade + Slide-in and Depth Parallax ship in the free plugin; the six premium effects below are what a Pro licence unlocks.
The signature effect
Panels wipe over one another on a pinned stage — inset or iris reveals with depth, dim and edge-shadow cues. The look every agency asks for.
Editorial reveals
Content fades, slides and zooms into the reading zone as it scrolls up. Tune the finish point and length so each hand-off lands clean.
Sense of depth
Media drifts against its frame at your chosen speed, clipped and zoomed so the frame stays filled edge to edge. Vertical or horizontal axis.
The hard one, done
A section pins and the track scrolls sideways as you scroll down. Correct on every layout — recomputes on resize and stays smooth throughout.
Kinetic type
Headlines split into words or characters and cascade in, each trailing the last. Line breaks and links survive the split.
Self-drawing lines
Any stroked SVG path draws itself on as it scrolls into view. Cascade multiple paths, draw from either end — logos, diagrams, signatures.
Shape wipes
Panels wipe in through a growing circle, box or directional shape — crisp or soft-edged. A different kind of entrance for any content.
Reveal through a silhouette
Panels bloom into view through a vector silhouette — blob, star, hexagon and more, or your own SVG path for a logo-shaped reveal. Crisp or soft-edged.
The engine is registry-driven — a new effect is one module and one entry, and the Studio, exports and licensing all pick it up as they are.

FAQ
Scroll Studio is built to stay light. It runs on its own purpose-built motion engine — one small, self-contained file that carries everything it needs and is served straight from your own site. It is event-driven, so it works while you scroll and rests while the page sits idle.
The free plugin on WordPress.org gives you the Studio, the engine, native tagging in every major editor, code export, the Minimal template, and two effects — Fade + Slide-in and Depth Parallax. Pro adds the six premium effects (Clip-path Stacking, Pin & Horizontal Scroll, Text Stagger, SVG Line Draw, Shape Mask Reveal, SVG Shape Mask), the full template library, priority support, and self-hosted auto-updates. And every new effect and template we ship lands in Pro automatically — your library keeps growing for as long as your licence is active. Installing Pro replaces the free plugin and carries your settings over.
Scroll Studio is built to work in every major WordPress editor — Elementor, Gutenberg, Bricks and WPBakery — and in raw HTML with a single script tag. You build and style your section natively in whichever editor you already use, and the plugin attaches the motion to it. The result displays on every modern browser and on phones, tablets and desktops alike, with per-breakpoint tuning in Pro for when you want a different feel on smaller screens. Step-by-step guides for each editor are in the docs.
The Single-site licence activates Pro on one site. The Unlimited licence activates it on as many sites as you build. Both are annual and include updates and support for the year.
Yes. These are introductory launch prices for a brand-new plugin, and they will rise over time. As long as you keep your licence active, you stay on the price you signed up at — your yearly renewal never goes up, even after we raise prices for new customers. If you let the licence lapse and come back later, you rejoin at the current rate.
Everything you already installed keeps working — the engine is MIT and runs entirely on your own site. Renewing keeps the new updates and the premium template library coming.
Yes. Checkout is handled by Paddle, our merchant of record, with a 14-day money-back guarantee. If it is not for you, email us and we will sort it out.
Eight effects, every major editor, and a lightweight engine that is yours to keep.
