- Yes. Text Underline 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 Text Underline without editing code?
- Text Underline exposes 5 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 Text Underline free?
- Text Underline 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 Text Underline in client projects?
- Yes. The Annnimate license covers commercial and client work - ship Text Underline on as many projects as you build, with no attribution required.
