About Sticker Peel

Sticker Peel turns any child into a sticker: a corner lifts on hover to show a lighter underside with a fold shadow, and it can be dragged around.

Sticker Peel is an interactive effect for React 19, styled with Tailwind CSS 4 and animated with Motion. It drops into Next.js, Vite, Remix or Astro through the shadcn CLI as a single file you own.

When to use Sticker Peel

Playful brand stickers.
Badges and awards.
Portfolio easter eggs.
Packaging previews.

How it works

The fold is a clipped mirrored copy with a shadow sized to the peel amount.

Pointer effects have a keyboard or static equivalent, and nothing that matters depends on hover alone. With prefers-reduced-motion on, it holds still or settles instantly instead of animating.

Customizing Sticker Peel

Every prop is documented in the API reference above with its type and default. The ones you will reach for first are listed here.

The Customize panel next to the preview lets you change peel, corner, rotate, shadow live, and the Code tab updates to match, so the snippet you copy already carries your values.

peel (number, default 56): How far the corner lifts on hover, in px.
corner ("tr" | "tl" | "br" | "bl", default "tr").
rotate (number, default 4): Degrees the sticker tilts while hovered or dragged.
shadow (number, default 0.5): Shadow strength under the flap, 0 to 1.
draggable (boolean, default true): Drag around the parent element.
