Magic UI: The Animated Component Library That Brings Your Landing Pages to Life

What is it?

Magic UI is an open-source animated component library built specifically for design engineers. It offers over 150 beautifully crafted, motion-ready components, sections, and templates designed with React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and Framer Motion. It helps developers quickly build visually engaging and animated landing pages with minimal setup—often used alongside libraries like shadcn/ui to add expressive animations and interactive polish.
