Hugeicons Animated

Accessibility

Use animated icons without making motion or meaning a barrier.

Hugeicons Animated respects the device's reduced-motion setting. The shared animation helper does not start motion when prefers-reduced-motion is enabled.

Check

Reduced-motion support is automatic for every installed icon.

Give the icon a purpose#

Use an accessible label when an icon carries meaning by itself.

Hide the icon from assistive technology when visible text already gives the control its name.

Do not use motion as the only signal#

Keep a text, color, or shape change when animation communicates a state. A success icon can animate, but the interface must also show a clear success label.

Support keyboard interaction#

Automatic icons respond to pointer hover. If you control an icon from a parent element, run the same animation on focus.

Should a decorative icon have a label?

No. Use aria-hidden when nearby text already explains the control or content.

Does reduced motion remove the icon?

No. The original static Hugeicon remains visible. Only the animation is skipped.
