Reveal CSS Animations

1
Make an element revealable

Add the CSS class .wow to a HTML element: it will be invisible until the user scrolls to reveal it.
(You can change this CSS class in the WOW settings to avoid name conflicts.)

                <div class="wow">
                Content to Reveal Here
                </div>

2
Choose the animation style

Pick an animation style in Animate.css , then add the CSS class to the HTML element

                  <div class="wow bounceInUp">
                  Content to Reveal Here
                  </div>

You’re done!

Now your animations will be revealed when the user scrolls.
