Magnifying Glass Text Animation

Sweep a lens across a sentence for a detail reveal, research-themed title or playful explainer. The lens enlarges the actual text beneath it rather than displaying an unrelated overlay.

Editing tip

Choose an editorial serif or modern sans font, adjust weight and line spacing, and select an ivory, studio or night palette. Set paper texture and lens magnification, then preview the lens scanning your lines.

  3. Export the animation and place the downloaded clip in your editing timeline.
