Counter Free

How to set up and style the Counter widget in Elementor.

Counter animates a number from a start value to an end value the first time it scrolls into view. It can show an icon, a prefix, a suffix and a title, and it formats large numbers with a thousands separator. Use it for stats such as clients served, years in business or projects done.

Part of: Bright Addons (free).

Set it up

  1. Drag Counter from the Bright Addons category onto the page.

  2. Set the Start Number and the End Number.

  3. Add a Prefix or Suffix and choose the Thousands Separator and Decimal Places.

  4. Set the Animation Duration (ms).

  5. Type the Title, pick the Title Tag and choose an Icon if wanted.

  6. Set the Alignment, then open the Style tab for the box, number, title and icon styles.

Style options

These sections are in the Style tab.

  • Box

    background color, padding, border, border radius and box shadow.

  • Number

    color, typography, spacing under the number and a separate Prefix and Suffix Color.

  • Title

    color and typography.

  • Icon

    color, size and spacing under the icon (shown when an icon is chosen).

Tips

  • The end number is printed in the page itself, so it still shows correctly if scripts do not run.

  • The animation runs once per page load, when about a fifth of the number is visible.

  • With Dot as the Thousands Separator, a comma is used as the decimal mark.

  • The count slows down toward the end, so long durations still finish smoothly.

Questions and answers

When does the counting start?

It starts when the number scrolls into view, not on page load, so visitors see the animation.

Can I add a dollar sign or a plus?

Yes. Type it in Prefix or Suffix. Both are printed tight against the number with no gap.

Can the counter show decimals?

Yes. Set Decimal Places from 0 to 4 and type the End Number with decimals.

Does it replay each time I scroll past?

No. It animates once, the first time it comes into view.
