How It Works

1

Choose a Preset or Customize

Start with a quick preset like Fade In, Bounce, or Slide Up, then customize the keyframes and timing.

2

Adjust Timing and Direction

Set duration, delay, easing function, iteration count, and animation direction to get the perfect feel.

3

Copy and Use

Copy the generated @keyframes and animation properties into your CSS stylesheet.

Animation Tips

Start with Presets

Use the built-in presets as a starting point, then fine-tune the keyframes and timing to match your design.

Use ease-out for Entrances

The ease-out timing function creates natural-feeling entrance animations that start fast and decelerate smoothly.

Performance Tip

For best performance, animate only transform and opacity properties. These are GPU-accelerated and won't cause layout reflows.

Frequently Asked Questions

CSS animation allows you to animate HTML elements without using JavaScript or Flash. You can control duration, timing function, delay, iteration count, direction, and fill mode. Animations can be simple transitions or complex multi-step keyframe sequences.
Transitions animate between two states (from A to B) and require a trigger like hover. Keyframe animations can have multiple steps (0%, 50%, 100%) and run automatically. Keyframes give you more control over complex animation sequences.
Set the animation-iteration-count property to infinite. You can also specify a number like 2 or 3 to play the animation a specific number of times before stopping.
normal plays forward, reverse plays backward, alternate plays forward then backward (and alternates each iteration), and alternate-reverse plays backward then forward.
Use the animation-delay property with a time value like 1s, 500ms, or -2s. Negative values start the animation partway through, which is useful for synchronizing animations.
Yes, you can animate any CSS property that has a calculable value. Common properties include transform, opacity, colors, sizes, positions, and more. Some properties like height with auto value cannot be animated directly.
Create a keyframe animation that rotates from 0deg to 360deg, then apply it to a circular element with border-radius: 50%. Use animation: spin 1s linear infinite for a smooth continuous spin.
ease-in starts slowly and accelerates (good for exits), ease-out starts fast and decelerates (good for entrances). ease-in-out does both. linear has constant speed throughout.
