Image Sequence
Image Sequence links ordered images to scroll progress. Combine it with actors, effects and timing to create product sequences, visual transitions and scroll-controlled scenes. Optional cinematic flash transitions are available.
Image Sequence is included in Free.
A new sequence occupies the full Timeline; the editor preserves intervals you deliberately adjust. Its progress is uniform, without a separate acceleration curve. Use consistent image dimensions and aspect ratios.
Optional local optimization preserves originals and requires GD or Imagick with WebP support.
Optimization creates one global optimized set sized for the largest enabled screen, not separate image collections for each device.
Pinned mode
Pinned keeps a scene in place while its effects progress with scroll. Pinned is included in Free.
Flow mode
Flow applies effects while the page continues through its normal document flow. Flow is included in Free.
Responsive behaviour
Wonli supports desktop, tablet and mobile configurations. Responsive values can be adapted automatically while allowing device-specific adjustments. Review the actual page at every enabled size; automatic adaptation is a starting point, not a guarantee that every layout needs the same settings.
Works with existing page content
Finish and save the page in its builder before configuring animations. Select an existing block, then eligible elements inside it as actors. The page builder remains responsible for content and layout.
Wonli supports the block editor, Elementor, WPBakery, Divi 5 and Bricks. Unsupported or ambiguous elements can be excluded safely. Compatibility varies by theme, add-on, device and hosting.
Keep one animation editor open and close the page builder while configuring it. Concurrent editors can produce conflicting drafts or change source elements. If the page changes later, review the affected blocks, actors and animations.
Timing and movement
The Timeline controls when effects start and end. Acceleration controls how an ordinary effect progresses inside its own interval; its custom curve provides precise control. Scroll response controls how the animation follows scrolling.
These controls serve different purposes.
Compatible effects can overlap on an actor or occupy separate intervals. The editor prevents adding a second effect of the same type to one actor. Apply or Done in a media guide prepares changes; Save effect or Update effect saves them in the draft.
Publish changes updates the public animation.

Privacy and accessibility
The Free plugin communicates with the site’s own WordPress REST API and does not require a licensing account or send usage telemetry to Wonli. The separately installed Pro add-on has its own Freemius licensing integration.
Animations are stored in the WordPress database. Optional image optimization creates local Media Library derivatives. Reduced-motion handling removes cinematic flashes and avoids motion where required.
Original page content remains available when an animation cannot run safely.
Support
Guides and documentation are available on the official Wonli website. Individual technical support is not included with Free. Technical support through the official Wonli Support area requires an active Wonli Scroll Storytelling Pro subscription; it is not a prerequisite for using Free.
