Why Text Typing?

Text Typing is a lightweight WordPress plugin that adds realistic animated typing effects to your headings and text – directly inside the Gutenberg block editor, with no coding required. Write a prefix, one or more rotating typing lines, and a suffix, then fine-tune the speed, delay, looping, and cursor to match your design.

Perfect for hero sections, banners, headlines, and call-to-action areas, it lets you highlight key messages with an engaging, modern typing animation. Six ready-made themes are included free, scripts load only on pages that use the block, and a shortcode generator lets you reuse saved typing texts anywhere.

The free plugin is fully functional on its own. A separate Text Typing Pro upgrade adds a complete collection of animated text and heading blocks, all grouped under a single Text Typing category in the block inserter.

Pro Version – Unlock the Full Animated Text Collection

Text Typing Pro extends the free plugin with a full library of animated text and heading blocks plus advanced styling. All Pro blocks are visible in the inserter so you can preview them; a license unlocks them on the front end.

Pro animated text & heading blocks:

• Animated Headline – cinematic, scroll-triggered reveals with letter, word, or line stagger and an optional highlighted word.
• Split Text – a staggered reveal where each letter or word animates in one after another.
• Rotating Words – a headline with one word that cycles through a list – slide, flip, fade, or zoom.
• Scramble Text – a “decode” reveal where letters cycle through random glyphs and settle into place.
• Tracking-In Text – headings that reveal by animating letter-spacing with a soft fade.
• Number Counter – animated count-up numbers that fire on scroll – perfect for stats and results.
• Gradient, Rainbow, Shine, Neon & Glitch Text – bold color and glow effects that are impossible to miss.
• Outline, Long Shadow, Sticker & Reflection Text – striking display-heading styles for modern layouts.
• Text Mask – show an image or gradient clipped inside bold text – the classic knockout hero effect.
• Curved, Circular & Vertical Text – arch text along an arc, wrap it around a circle, or run it vertically.
• Text Marquee – an infinite, seamless scrolling text band for “trusted by” rows and tickers.
• Split-Flap Text, 3D Tilt Text, Wavy Text & Animated Highlight – playful, interactive attention-grabbers.
