About this section

Scroll Path Timeline — Free SVG Draw-on-Scroll Section

Scroll Path Timeline: A vertical timeline joined by a hand-drawn SVG line. As visitors scroll, the line draws itself down the page and each milestone lights up when the line reaches it. Milestones have a date, icon, title and text. The line is inline SVG coloured by the theme, so it always matches; without JavaScript it is simply drawn in full.

Scroll Path Timeline connects milestones with a hand-drawn SVG line that draws itself as visitors scroll. Each milestone lights up the moment the line reaches it, so the page feels like it is telling the story in real time.

SVG that follows your theme

The line is inline SVG coloured with the theme's brand colour, and the milestone dots use your icons, so it matches any preset or brand kit with no image files.

Milestones you can edit

Add 2 to 10 milestones, each with a date or label, an icon, a title and text. On wide screens they alternate left and right of the line; on narrow screens they line up on one side.

Visible without JavaScript

Without JavaScript or with reduced motion the line is fully drawn and every milestone is shown. With GSAP the stroke is scrubbed from hidden to drawn using its own length, no plugin needed. Export HTML, a ZIP, React or Vue.

Why use it

Why Use the Scroll Path Timeline

〰
Momentum on the page
A line that grows as you scroll pulls readers forward through the story.
🎨
Always on brand
The SVG takes your theme colours, so it fits any palette without new artwork.
✓
Content first
All milestones are real HTML text; the drawing is a bonus layered on top.

How it’s different

How It’s Different From Other Free Section Templates

✎
Editable, not just copyable
Change text, links, images, colours and fonts in the browser before you export, instead of editing someone else’s code by hand.
◐
One theme for every section
Colours, fonts, radius and width are shared CSS variables, so every section you combine looks like one website.
⇲
Responsive by container
Container queries make each section adapt to its own width, in a full page, a column or a page builder.
✦
GSAP animation built in
Every section animates in with GSAP and ScrollTrigger, stays visible without JavaScript and respects reduced motion.
</>
HTML, React and Vue
Export a single HTML file, a ZIP with your images, a React component or a Vue component, or fork the code into My Code.
◍
Free, private, saved
No account and no watermark. Designs, uploaded images and fonts stay in your browser, with a backup file you can restore anywhere.

Frequently Asked Questions

The path’s stroke is dashed to its own length and GSAP scrubs the dash offset from hidden to fully drawn while the timeline crosses the screen. No DrawSVG plugin is needed.

Yes. The path is a plain SVG path in the HTML; replace its d attribute in the exported code with any curve and the drawing still works because it measures the path’s length.

They are dimmed and slightly lowered, then fade in fully as the line arrives. Without JavaScript they are all shown normally.

Yes. From 900px wide the milestones alternate on both sides of a centred line; below that the line runs down the left with all milestones on the right.

It saves an editable copy of your Scroll Path Timeline in My Code, the UI Snippets code editor: the section markup goes in the HTML panel, its CSS (theme variables, base styles and layout) in the CSS panel, and the GSAP library is added as a CDN link, so you can keep refining the code and save your own versions.
