This one is just wild. The Interactive ASCII Component turns any image into an animated ASCII-art background.

You can:

  • Drop it behind your hero section with absolute positioning.

  • Upload any image (via Unsplash or your own files).

  • Customize fonts, colors, glow effects, and character density.

  • Adjust brightness and contrast so your image still looks clear.

The best part? It’s interactive, move your cursor over it and the characters shift around in real time. A guaranteed attention-grabber.

The Magnetic Grid Component gives you a background full of little dots, images, or icons that respond to your cursor.

Modes include:

  • Ripple – elements are pushed away.

  • Magnet – elements are pulled toward your cursor.

  • Look – elements rotate to “look” at the cursor.

  • Scale – elements resize as you hover nearby.

You can control column count, spacing, intensity, and trigger area. It’s a playful, interactive way to add depth without overwhelming the page.

The Dither Component transforms any boring image into a pixelated, animated effect that feels retro and futuristic at the same time.

You can:

  • Upload any image and instantly get a dithered look.

  • Choose between different dithering algorithms (ordered, Floyd, random, etc.).

  • Adjust pixel size, threshold, brightness, and glow.

  • Animate the image with subtle blinking or shifting pixels.

Perfect if you want your hero section to feel a little cyberpunk.

The God Rays Component creates beautiful light-beam effects across your site. Drop it into your background, set absolute positioning, and you’re good to go.

Features include:

  • A set of ready-made presets (ocean, highway, etc.).

  • Custom color settings to match your brand.

  • Adjustable center point, direction, and animation speed.

  • Optional noise overlay for extra texture.

It’s a simple way to turn a static gradient background into something that feels alive.

Think ASCII art—but animated. The Animated Pattern Background Component lets you create dynamic text- or pixel-based patterns that continuously shift in the background.

Highlights:

  • Customize the characters used (even your brand name).

  • Switch between ASCII or pixel mode.

  • Adjust colors, patterns, and animation speed.

  • Add a mask for readability so text still pops.

It’s unique, flexible, and surprisingly underused. If you dropped this into a template, it could easily become the standout detail.

The Ripple Grid Component is a clean, geometric option. It generates a grid of dots or squares that react with ripple animations—either looping or on click.

You can:

  • Change dot size, shape, and spacing.

  • Customize ripple radius, color, and speed.

  • Experiment with different ripple styles (circle, diamond, lightning, etc.).

It’s subtle but eye-catching, and it works beautifully as a background accent for modern layouts.
