Card-based user interfaces are a popular way to organize content visually, making information easy to scan and interact with. Cards often contain images, titles, descriptions, and links, and they are perfect for presenting products, articles, or team members. Adding hover animations to cards can make your UI feel modern and responsive, drawing attention to interactive elements and providing feedback to users. The main goal of card hover animations is to create a sense of depth and engagement without overwhelming or distracting the user. With GSAP, you can smoothly animate card scaling, shadows, and content reveals to enhance the interactive experience.

To ensure your card hover animations are both smooth and accessible, use short durations and gentle easing to avoid jarring effects. Avoid triggering essential actions or hiding important content on hover, and always make sure that information revealed on hover is still accessible via keyboard navigation or touch events. Use clear visual cues, and test your animations with screen readers and different input methods to provide an inclusive experience for all users.
