See examples at viking.infy.uk/svg-automotion
Key features:
— Gutenberg block and shortcode support
— Fade, rotate, scale, and slide effects
— Adjustable animation duration
— Lightweight, pure JavaScript (no dependencies)
— Works with any SVG in your media library
— Add a link to the image if needed
Usage
Using the Gutenberg Block
- Add a new block and search for SVG AutoMotion.
- Select your SVG image from the Media Library.
- Choose which animations to apply and set the animation duration.
- Add a link to the image if needed under link settings
- Save or preview your post to see the animation in action.
See Screenshot 1 and Screenshot 2.
Using the Shortcode
You can also insert animations anywhere using the [svg_automotion] shortcode.
Basic example:
[svg_automotion src=»2025/10/automotionlogo.svg»]
You can combine multiple effects:
[svg_automotion src=»2025/10/automotionlogo.svg» fade=»true» slide=»true» rotate=»false» scale=»true» duration=»4000″]
You can also add a link to the shortcode
[svg_automotion src=»2025/10/automotionlogo.svg» fade=»true» slide=»true» rotate=»false» scale=»true» duration=»4000″ link_url=»https://wordpress.org» link_newtab=»true» ]
Parameters:
— src — relative or full URL path to your SVG file
— fade, rotate, scale, slide — enable/disable each effect
— duration — total animation time in milliseconds
— link_url — url to link to (optional)
— link_newtab — set to true if you wish the link to open in a new tab

Часто задаваемые вопросы

How do I upload SVG files into my media library?

Yes, as long as the SVG structure is valid.
-
Can I control which animations run?
-
Yes. You can toggle fade, rotate, scale, and slide animations from the block settings.
