How to Create a Text Scramble Effect in Framer
In this blog, I’ll show you how to turn a simple headline into a moment of suspense in Framer. This effect scrambles each letter, cycling through symbols, numbers, or custom characters, before snapping into the final message. It’s subtle but striking, instantly pulling attention without feeling over-the-top.

What It Looks Like
Picture this: A dark background. Letters floating in randomly. Some shimmer, some chaos. And then click, your headline locks perfectly into place. It’s slick. It’s spicy. It’s totally awesome. And it’s as simple as copying and pasting a component.

How it works
The Scramble Effect triggers when the text appears on screen (either using Appear or Layer In View animations in Framer). Each character goes through a little identity crisis, cycling through random letters, numbers, or symbols, before landing on its final form.
You can tweak just about everything:
Characters – Choose what shows during the scramble. Use the full alphabet, numbers, emojis, or even “01” for a binary Matrix vibe.
Scrambled color – Give your scrambled letters a standout color, or keep them subtle using your default text color.
Direction – Set it to scramble from the left, right, or randomly.
Speed – Control how fast the scrambling animation runs.
Amount – Adjust how many letters scramble at once.
Delay – Add a delay before the animation kicks in.

You can even toggle:
Match Case – So your capitals stay capitalized.
Spaces – Choose whether to keep or replace spaces in the animation.
Why you’ll love it
You can use this effect to add personality to hero sections, headlines, or even little hover interactions. It’s just enough motion to feel premium without being distracting. And yeah, no coding. Just drop the component into your project, adjust a few sliders, and you’re good to go.
Copy or remix it
You can copy the scramble text component directly into your Framer project, or remix it to match your brand’s vibe. It’s one of those little touches that makes a big difference, especially if you’re trying to make your site stand out in a sea of sameness.
Final tip
Try combining this with other subtle micro-interactions or ambient background effects (like a slow blur or floating particles). It adds depth and polish that really makes your site feel intentional.
