Animated text editing icons

Bold, italic, underline, alignment and list icons for rich text toolbars. A quick click animation confirms the formatting was applied, which helps in editors where the change to the text itself is subtle.

Of the 10 icons, 8 replay on every click and 2 play once on hover. Each one comes as a React component, a shadcn/ui component and a Lottie JSON animation with static SVGs, free for commercial use under the MIT license.

Add one to your app

With React, install react-useanimations and import the icon; it plays its click replay interaction on its own. Every icon in this category works the same way: swap bold for the name on its page.

npm install react-useanimations
import UseAnimations from 'react-useanimations';
import bold from 'react-useanimations/lib/bold';

<UseAnimations animation={bold} size={32} />

With shadcn/ui, the CLI adds a ready-made component:

npx shadcn@latest add https://useanimations.com/r/bold.json
import { AnimatedBold } from '@/components/animations/bold';

<AnimatedBold size={24} />

Not using React? Each icon is a Lottie JSON file at /icons/<id>.json; see Lottie icons for web, iOS, Android and Flutter players.

FAQ

Which animated text editing icons are included?

10 icons: Align Center, Align Justify, Align Left, Align Right, Bold, Hash, Italic, List, Type and Underline. All of them are free for personal and commercial projects under the MIT license, with no attribution required.

How do I use these animated text editing icons in React?

Install react-useanimations, add import bold from 'react-useanimations/lib/bold' and render <UseAnimations animation={bold} size={32} />. The icon plays its click replay interaction and follows the text color. With shadcn/ui, run npx shadcn@latest add https://useanimations.com/r/bold.json instead.

Can I use these animated text editing icons without React?

Yes. Each icon is a Lottie JSON file at https://useanimations.com/icons/<id>.json (for example https://useanimations.com/icons/bold.json), playable with lottie-web, lottie-ios, lottie-android or Flutter's lottie package; static SVGs are on each icon page. None of them use expressions, so lottie-web's light build is enough.
