Image Stack Intro Animation

Two simple intro animations where an image stack moves to become a grid.

Today I want to share a simple intro animation with you. The concept is to first show an image stack and then animate each image to its position in the grid (or any other layout).

For the first demo, I actually used a simple serial layout and added some smooth scrolling with Locomotive Scroll. The animations are powered by GSAP.

The inspiration for this animation came from this beautiful intro animation Dribbble shot by Gil.

In the first demo the stack images move to a simple consecutive layout:

In the second demo, the images move to their respective position in the grid:

I really hope you have fun with this and thanks for checking it out!
