Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Animation Kit – Animated Backgrounds & WebGL Effects

Animation Kit is a WordPress plugin that adds animated WebGL backgrounds behind a whole site or a single section. The free version includes 6 effects: Aurora, Antigravity, Particles, Silk, Light Pillar and Radar. It is configured from one admin screen and needs no code.

Install and activate Animation Kit, open Animation Kit → Background Animation, pick an effect or a ready-made look, set its colors and turn it on. There is no shortcode to paste, no widget to place and no template to edit.

Yes. Animation Kit on WordPress.org is free and has no locked controls: 6 effects with your own colors, a site-wide background, section backgrounds on Group and Cover blocks, the looks gallery, the readability overlay and the On phones setting. Animation Kit Pro is an optional paid add-on.

Choose Particles (a drifting 3D particle cloud) or Antigravity (particles that react to the pointer) in Animation Kit → Background Animation, set the particle and background colors, and turn the background on. Both effects are in the free version.

In the block editor, select the Group or Cover block that holds your hero and switch on Animated background in its settings sidebar. Pick a look, adjust its colors, add a readability overlay and choose what phones get. This is free and independent of the site-wide background.

The site-wide background works behind any Elementor page in the free version. To animate one specific Elementor, Bricks or WPBakery section, point a background at that section's CSS selector, which is a Pro feature. There is no Elementor widget.

It avoids the video file. An animated background is drawn in the visitor's browser by a small script, so there is no video to host, compress or download, and you can change its colors at any time. Like any animation it uses the device's GPU, which is why Animation Kit lets you serve a lighter version or a still image on phones.

Free: 6 effects with your own colors, one site-wide background, and section backgrounds on Group and Cover blocks. Pro: 17 more effects (23 in total), motion and size controls for every effect, several layered backgrounds, per-page and CSS-selector targeting, position / z-index / opacity / blend mode, and priority support. See the Free vs Pro section above.

No. Pro installs alongside the free plugin and uses the same settings. If a license ends, Pro-only settings are stored but not applied, and your site falls back to what the free version can show. Renewing brings them back.

That is a Pro feature. Pro lets you create several backgrounds and decide where each one runs: the front page, the blog, chosen pages or posts, post types, categories, tags, archives, search results or the 404 page. The free version shows one background on every page, plus any section backgrounds you add to individual blocks.
