Animated Aurora Background
Curtains of light that shimmer and drift like the northern lights. Aurora is a favorite backdrop for modern product and AI sites.
Design it in your browser, tune the colors and motion, and export it as React source, a PNG, or a WebM video.
Where it works
- AI, SaaS, and startup landing page heroes
- Dark-mode product pages
- Waitlist and coming-soon pages
Tip: Pair aurora with a dark base color and a single bright accent so the light bands stay luminous.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the aurora background generator free?
- Yes. beUI Studio is free to use in your browser, including exporting React source, PNG images, and WebM videos.
- How do I add an animated aurora background to a React app?
- Open the background in Studio, adjust it, then export React source. Paste the component into your project and render it behind your content, for example as the first child of a hero section.
- Will an animated WebGL background slow down my site?
- It uses the GPU, so keep it to one background per view, avoid full-resolution canvases on low-power devices, and use the PNG export as a fallback for visitors who prefer reduced motion.
- Can I change the colors to match my brand?
- Yes. Every background takes your own palette, and you can tune speed, scale, detail, distortion, glow, grain, and color adjustments before exporting.
