All 11 mouse followers components

  • Mouse Follower 1 — Image trail mouse follower using GSAP.
  • Mouse Follower 2 — Mouse follower image trail with pure DOM.
  • Bend Mouse Follower — A pixel-art frame that smoothly chases the cursor and warps with an air-friction bend on a WebGL plane.
  • Bend Button Follower — A rounded pill button with text that smoothly chases the cursor and warps with an air-friction bend on a WebGL plane.
  • Pixel Cursor Trail — A pixelated cursor trail: hovered grid cells flash and fade, leaving a trail behind the mouse, with blend-mode text on top.
  • Gravity Image Trail — A GSAP image trail where images cascade from the cursor, fall, and bounce off the bottom edge.
  • Scale Image Trail — A GSAP image trail that pops each image in with a bouncy scale, then shrinks it away behind the cursor.
  • Image Trail Effects — A cursor image trail with six switchable reveal effects — flame, venetian, curtain, hexagon, liquid and zoom split.
  • Motion Trail Classic — A GSAP cursor trail where images appear at the cursor, glide to it, then scale and fade out.
  • Dither Cursor Trail — A pale blue Bayer-dithered cursor trail with a softly tapered tail that fades at rest.
  • Pixel Displace Field — A pixelated spiral of grid-locked squares that scatter away from the cursor and spring back.
