How to Create Text Reveal Animation Using CSS

1. Begin by creating an HTML file. Inside the <body> tag, define a container with a class name, such as <div class="hero">. Within this container, add an <h1> element with a class of “text-reveal”. Inside the <h1> element, include the text you want to reveal within <span> tags.

<div class="hero">
 <h1 class="text-reveal">
    <span>TEXT REVEAL</span>
    <span aria-hidden="true">TEXT REVEAL</span>
  </h1>
</div>

2. In your CSS file, style the <h1> element and define the animation properties for the text reveal effect. You can customize the font family, size, alignment, and colors according to your preference. The key part is to define the animation properties using keyframes for each text reveal effect.

Adjust the animation duration, delay, stroke colors, fill colors, and other parameters as needed to achieve the desired text reveal effect. Make sure to target the appropriate elements and define the animation behavior using keyframes.
