Common questions about Physics diagrams
Where can I get free animated physics diagrams for my website?
Scrollchart is a free library of animated, embeddable diagrams. The Physics section covers the most common concepts and frameworks in the field. Each diagram embeds with one line of HTML, no account required, no watermark.
How do I embed a free animated physics diagram in WordPress?
Copy the embed snippet from the diagram page on Scrollchart and paste it into a custom HTML block in your WordPress editor. The diagram loads automatically and scroll-paints into view. No plugin or API key needed.
Is there a free library of animated physics diagrams I can embed without coding?
Scrollchart provides ready-to-embed animated diagrams across physics and 35 other categories. The embed is a single line of HTML that works in any CMS, including WordPress, Webflow, Ghost, Substack, and plain HTML pages.
Do Scrollchart physics diagrams include explanatory text?
Yes. Each diagram ships with a tabbed explainer panel covering what the diagram shows, the research behind it, and how to interpret it. The text is served from scrollchart.com and rendered directly in your page's DOM so it is indexed by search engines.
