💡 What Is Scroll Shape Animation in Wix Studio?
Scroll shape animation is a visual effect where an image is revealed through a shape (like a circle, diamond, or square) as the user scrolls down your page. It’s a powerful way to break up static layouts and guide your visitor’s focus—without writing a single line of code.
And yes, it’s all done inside Wix Studio — a powerful, flexible platform that gives you full design freedom.

🛠️ Step-by-Step: How to Add Scroll Shape Animation in Wix Studio
1. Choose Where You Want the Animation
On your Wix Studio canvas, pick the section where you want the animation. This could be right after your hero section — a prime spot for impact.
2. Add and Structure Cells
Inside your chosen section:
Increase the height of the cell.
Use the Quick Action Bar to split the cell into two.
Adjust the size of each cell to fit your layout.
3. Insert Your Image
From the Add Elements panel, drag in an image and stretch it to fill the cell. Use the Change Image button to upload or select your image. For best results, choose high-quality visuals that align with your branding.
4. Curve the Corners
With the image selected, go to the Inspector, scroll to Corners, and apply a 30-pixel radius. This softens the image for a more modern, polished look.
5. Add the Scroll Animation
Still in the Inspector, go to Animations & Effects and choose:
Trigger: Scroll
Animation Type: Shape
Shape Style: Circle, Diamond, Square, or Oval (we love Circle for its clean reveal)
Intensity: Set between 0.6 – 0.8 for a bold entrance
Animation Area: Defines how far a user scrolls before the animation completes. We recommend starting at 100%.
That’s it! Now when you preview or publish your site, you’ll see the image reveal itself through the chosen shape as your visitor scrolls.
🧠 Why Use Scroll Animations?
In a world full of static web pages, motion design grabs attention, tells a story, and increases engagement. With just a few clicks in Wix Studio, you can transform your website from average to unforgettable.
Whether you’re showcasing a product, portfolio, or service — scroll-triggered animations keep users curious and scrolling.
