1. ChatGPT-style Text Typing Effect – ChatGPT Typewriter
The ChatGPT Typewriter script simulates the text typing effect you see on ChatGPT (https://chat.openai.com/).
2. JavaScript Plugin For Customizable Terminal Text Effect – TypeIt
A typewriter-style text animation plugin that simulates someone typing and deleting over an array of words.
Note that the plugin is rewritten in pure JavaScript since TypeIt v5 so it now works with no dependencies such as jQuery.
3. Terminal-style Text Typing Animation – TypeWriting.js
A standalone JavaScript library for creating terminal-style animated text typing effect with a blinking cursor.
4. Classic Terminal Typing Effect In JavaScript – Console Typer
A JavaScript library to create a configurable typing animation for paragraphs, simulating the experience of typing in a command line interface.
5. Create Smooth Looping Typewriter Effects with Typewriter.js
A lightweight JavaScript library that creates smooth typewriter typing and deleting effects on any text content.
It introduces a <Typewriter /> component that animates text content sequentially within the component to mimic a text rotator effect. Each text segment types out character by character, pauses, then deletes before moving to the next segment.
For instance, you could use it to display “CSSScript.Com” then “A JavaScript & CSS website.” and finally “Update Daily.” This visual cue can engage users more effectively than static text.
6. Text Typing Animations with Real-time Markdown/HTML Rendering – TypeMorph

Features:
- Flexible Typing Engine: Character-by-character rendering with configurable speed and chunk size.
- Multiple Looping Modes: Supports both clear and backspace loop styles with customizable iteration counts and delays between cycles.
- Markdown Rendering: Parses markdown syntax using Marked library with inline and block-level support for rich text formatting.
- HTML Sanitization: Automatically sanitizes HTML content using DOMPurify to prevent XSS attacks while preserving safe markup.
- Smart Auto-Scrolling: Detects user scroll interactions and automatically scrolls to show new content during typing animations.
- Cursor Customization: Built-in blinking cursor with configurable character, color, and animation timing via CSS classes.
- Promise-Based API: Async methods for type, loop, stop, and destroy operations enable sequential animation chains.
- Event Callbacks: Lifecycle hooks for stop, finish, and destroy events.
