Timelines – 22 Free CSS Timeline Templates
Timelines is a pack of 22 timeline designs — twelve vertical and ten horizontal — each a single self-contained HTML file with the CSS inline. Not one of them uses JavaScript.
At a glance
- 22 designs, one folder each, single
index.htmlper design - Pure CSS throughout — including the spine that fills on scroll, which uses a scroll-driven animation rather than a scroll listener
- Vertical: classic alternating, minimal release notes, dark roadmap, activity feed, gradient spine, CV layout, grouped changelog, scroll-filled spine, delivery tracking, discussion thread, alternating icon cards, dense audit log
- Horizontal: progress steps, scroll-snap history, quarterly roadmap, milestone cards, Gantt chart, media track, icon process, compact inline trackers, proportional decade axis, and one that flips horizontal-to-vertical from a single markup
- Every design states how it behaves on a phone rather than shrinking until it fits
- Checked at 380px for horizontal overflow; motion respects

How to use
Open the design you want and copy its markup along with the rules from the <style> block. Each design is self-contained — nothing depends on the other 21 or on a shared stylesheet.
FAQ
Are these timeline templates free?
Yes — free for personal and commercial projects, including client work.
Do they need JavaScript or a framework?
Neither. Every design is pure CSS on its own class names, so nothing collides with Bootstrap or Tailwind if you already load one.
