Frequently asked
- Does Mesh Gradient work with React and Vue?
- Mesh Gradient ships as React (Next.js included), Vue 3 (Nuxt included), plain HTML/CSS/JS - the same animation in each format. The React version uses the official useGSAP hook with cleanup handled; the Vue version is a real single-file component with <script setup>.
- Do I need GSAP to use Mesh Gradient?
- Yes. Mesh Gradient is built on GSAP directly, and GSAP has been 100% free for commercial use, including every plugin, since version 3.13. The component page lists exactly what to install.
- Can I customize Mesh Gradient without editing code?
- Mesh Gradient exposes 4 tunable controls in the Customize panel on this page - drag the values, watch the live preview respond, and the code you copy carries your exact settings.
- Is Mesh Gradient free?
- Mesh Gradient is part of the Annnimate Library, a paid subscription (from EUR 249/year). The live preview and customization run free on this page; the paste-ready code is for members.
- Can I use Mesh Gradient in client projects?
- Yes. The Annnimate license covers commercial and client work - ship Mesh Gradient on as many projects as you build, with no attribution required.
- Does Mesh Gradient respect prefers-reduced-motion?
- Yes. Every Annnimate component handles prefers-reduced-motion via gsap.matchMedia, so users who opt out of motion get an effectively instant, readable state.
