Reveal CSS Animations

1
Make an element revealable

Add the CSS class .wow to a HTML element: it will be invisible until the user scrolls to reveal it.
(You can change this CSS class in the WOW settings to avoid name conflicts.)

 <div class="wow"> Content to Reveal Here </div>

2
Choose the animation style

Pick an animation style in Animate.css , then add the CSS class to the HTML element

 <div class="wow bounceInUp"> Content to Reveal Here </div>

You’re done!

Now your animations will be revealed when the user scrolls.

Check these examples of wow.js + Animate.css uses:

* MaterialUp
* Fliplingo
* Streamline Icons
