Animation Tips
- • Use presets as starting points for your animations
- • Adjust transform properties at each keyframe to create movement
- • Combine transforms (translate + rotate + scale) for complex effects
- • Use timing functions to control acceleration and deceleration
- • Test with different iteration counts and directions

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a CSS animation?
CSS animations allow you to animate HTML elements without using JavaScript. They consist of two parts: @keyframes that define the animation stages and the animation property that applies the animation to an element with timing and behavior settings. This makes them performant and easy to implement.
How do I use the generated CSS animation?
Copy the generated CSS code and paste it into your stylesheet. The code includes both the @keyframes definition (which describes the animation) and an example .element class showing how to apply the animation. Replace .element with your own class or element selector, and the animation will be applied to those elements.
What are keyframes in CSS animations?
Keyframes define the stages of an animation. Each keyframe specifies the styles at a particular point (0%, 25%, 50%, 100%, etc.) during the animation. The browser automatically interpolates between keyframes to create smooth animations. You need at least 2 keyframes (start and end) to create an animation.
What timing functions are available?
The generator supports five timing functions: linear (constant speed throughout), ease (slow start and end, fast middle), ease-in (slow start, fast end), ease-out (fast start, slow end), and ease-in-out (slow start and end). These control how the animation accelerates and decelerates, creating different feels and effects.
Can I create looping animations?
Yes! Set the iteration count to "infinite" for endless loops, or specify a number for how many times the animation should repeat. You can also use the "alternate" direction to make the animation play forward then backward, creating a continuous back-and-forth effect perfect for attention-grabbing elements.
What is the fill mode property?
Fill mode determines what styles are applied before and after the animation. "None" removes styles when not animating, "forwards" keeps the final keyframe styles after completion, "backwards" applies the first keyframe styles during the delay, and "both" applies both forward and backward behaviors.
Are CSS animations supported in all browsers?
Yes, CSS animations are supported in all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and mobile browsers. The generated code uses the standard syntax without vendor prefixes, which is sufficient for browsers from 2013 onwards. For maximum compatibility, the animations work on 99%+ of browsers in use today.
