How to Add Scrolling Text to Wix
Add animated scrolling text to any Wix website using the Embed HTML element. No coding experience required — just generate your code, paste it in, and publish.
Step-by-Step Guide
- 1
Generate your scrolling text code
Open the Scrolling Text Generator on our homepage. Enter your text, select an animation style, customize the appearance to match your Wix site design, and click Copy Code to copy the full HTML and CSS snippet.
- 2
Open the Wix Editor for your site
Log in to your Wix account and open the site you want to edit. Click Edit Site to launch the Wix Editor (or Wix Studio if you are using the newer editor). Navigate to the page where you want the scrolling text to appear.
- 3
Add an Embed HTML element
Click the Add (+) button in the left toolbar, then go to Embed Code > Embed HTML. This adds an HTML iframe element to your page that can render custom HTML and CSS code.
- 4
Paste the generated code
Click the Embed HTML element you just added, then click Enter Code. Select the Code tab (not URL), paste the scrolling text code from the generator, and click Update. The preview will show your scrolling text animation immediately.
- 5
Resize, position, and publish
Drag the corners of the embed element to resize it to fit your layout. Position it where you want on the page — full width across the top works great for announcement bars. Click Publish to make the changes live on your Wix site.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I add custom HTML to a Wix website?
Yes. Wix provides an Embed HTML element (also called an HTML iframe) that lets you add custom HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code to any page. The Scrolling Text Generator code works perfectly inside this element.
Does the scrolling text work on the Wix mobile view?
Yes. The generated code uses responsive CSS that adapts to any screen size. In the Wix Editor, switch to the Mobile view to check how the scrolling text looks on smaller screens and adjust the embed element size if needed.
Can I make the scrolling text full width on Wix?
Yes. After adding the Embed HTML element, select it and use the stretch option or manually drag it to span the full width of the page. You can also place it inside a full-width strip or section for an edge-to-edge announcement bar effect.
Will the embed element affect my Wix site SEO?
The Embed HTML element renders inside an iframe on Wix, so the text inside it is not directly indexed by search engines. For SEO-critical content, use the scrolling text for decorative or promotional purposes and keep your main content in native Wix text elements.
