CSS Animations
Animations
What are CSS Animations?
An animation lets an element gradually change from one style to another.
You can change as many CSS properties you want, as many times as you want.
To use CSS animation, you must first specify some keyframes for the animation.
Keyframes hold what styles the element will have at certain times.
The @keyframes Rule
When you specify CSS styles inside the @keyframes
rule, the animation will gradually change from the current style to the new style at certain times.
To get an animation to work, you must bind the animation to an element.
The following example binds the "example" animation to the <div>
element. The animation will last for 4 seconds, and it will gradually change the background-color of the <div>
element from "red" to "yellow":
@keyframes example {
from {background-color: red;}
to {background-color: yellow;}
}
/* The element to apply the animation to */
div {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background-color: red;
animation-name: example;
animation-duration: 4s;
}
<html>
<head>
<style>
div {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background-color: red;
animation-name: example;
animation-duration: 4s;
}
@keyframes example {
from {background-color: red;}
to {background-color: yellow;}
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p><b>Note:</b> This example does not work in Internet Explorer 9 and earlier versions.</p>
<div></div>
<p><b>Note:</b> When an animation is finished, it changes back to its original style.</p>
</body>
</html>
Delay An Animation
The animation-delay
property specifies a delay for the start of an animation.
The following example has a 2 seconds delay before starting the animation.
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
position: relative;
background-color: red;
animation-name: example;
animation-duration: 4s;
animation-delay: 2s;
}
Negative values are also allowed. If using negative values, the animation will start as if it had already been playing for N seconds.
In the following example, the animation will start as if it had already been playing for 2 seconds
<html>
<head>
<style>
div {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background-color: red;
position: relative;
animation-name: example;
animation-duration: 4s;
animation-delay: -2s;
}
@keyframes example {
0% {background-color:red; left:0px; top:0px;}
25% {background-color:yellow; left:200px; top:0px;}
50% {background-color:blue; left:200px; top:200px;}
75% {background-color:green; left:0px; top:200px;}
100% {background-color:red; left:0px; top:0px;}
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>Using negative values: Here, the animation will start as if it had already been playing for 2 seconds:</p>
<div></div>
<p><b>Note:</b> This example does not work in Internet Explorer 9 and earlier versions.</p>
</body>
</html>
Set How Many Times An Animation Should Run
The animation-iteration-count
property specifies the number of times an animation should run.
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
position: relative;
background-color: red;
animation-name: example;
animation-duration: 4s;
animation-iteration-count: 3;
}
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
position: relative;
background-color: red;
animation-name: example;
animation-duration: 4s;
animation-iteration-count: infinite;
}
<html>
<head>
<style>
div {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background-color: red;
position: relative;
animation-name: example;
animation-duration: 4s;
animation-iteration-count: infinite;
}
@keyframes example {
0% {background-color:red; left:0px; top:0px;}
25% {background-color:yellow; left:200px; top:0px;}
50% {background-color:blue; left:200px; top:200px;}
75% {background-color:green; left:0px; top:200px;}
100% {background-color:red; left:0px; top:0px;}
}
</style>
</head>

Run Animation In Reverse Direction Or Alternate Cycles
The animation-direction
property specifies whether an animation should be played forwards, backwards or in alternate cycles.
The animation-direction property can have the following values:
normal
- The animation is played as normal (forwards). This is defaultreverse
- The animation is played in reverse direction (backwards)alternate
- The animation is played forwards first, then backwardsalternate-reverse
- The animation is played backwards first, then forwards
The following example will run the animation in reverse direction (backwards)
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
position: relative;
background-color: red;
animation-name: example;
animation-duration: 4s;
animation-direction: reverse;
}
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
position: relative;
background-color: red;
animation-name: example;
animation-duration: 4s;
animation-iteration-count: 2;
animation-direction: alternate-reverse;
}
<html>
<head>
<style>
div {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background-color: red;
position: relative;
animation-name: example;
animation-duration: 4s;
animation-iteration-count: 2;
animation-direction: alternate-reverse;
}
@keyframes example {
0% {background-color:red; left:0px; top:0px;}
25% {background-color:yellow; left:200px; top:0px;}
50% {background-color:blue; left:200px; top:200px;}
75% {background-color:green; left:0px; top:200px;}
100% {background-color:red; left:0px; top:0px;}
}
</style>

Specify The Speed Curve Of The Animation
The animation-timing-function
property specifies the speed curve of the animation.
The animation-timing-function property can have the following values:
ease
- Specifies an animation with a slow start, then fast, then end slowly (this is default)linear
- Specifies an animation with the same speed from start to endease-in
- Specifies an animation with a slow startease-out
- Specifies an animation with a slow endease-in-out
- Specifies an animation with a slow start and endcubic-bezier(n,n,n,n)
- Lets you define your own values in a cubic-bezier function
#div2 {animation-timing-function: ease;}
#div3 {animation-timing-function: ease-in;}
#div4 {animation-timing-function: ease-out;}
#div5 {animation-timing-function: ease-in-out;}
<html>
<head>
<style>
div {
width: 100px;
height: 50px;
background-color: red;
font-weight: bold;
position: relative;
animation: mymove 5s infinite;
}
#div1 {animation-timing-function: linear;}
#div2 {animation-timing-function: ease;}
#div3 {animation-timing-function: ease-in;}
#div4 {animation-timing-function: ease-out;}
#div5 {animation-timing-function: ease-in-out;}
@keyframes mymove {
from {left: 0px;}
to {left: 300px;}
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> The animation-timing-funtion property is not supported in Internet Explorer 9 and earlier versions.</p>
<div id="div1">linear</div>
<div id="div2">ease</div>
<div id="div3">ease-in</div>
<div id="div4">ease-out</div>
<div id="div5">ease-in-out</div>
</body>
</html>
Specify The Fill-mode For An Animation
CSS animations do not affect an element before the first keyframe is played or after the last keyframe is played. The animation-fill-mode property can override this behavior.
The animation-fill-mode
property specifies a style for the target element when the animation is not playing (before it starts, after it ends, or both).
The animation-fill-mode property can have the following values:
none
- Default value. Animation will not apply any styles to the element before or after it is executingforwards
- The element will retain the style values that is set by the last keyframe (depends on animation-direction and animation-iteration-count)backwards
- The element will get the style values that is set by the first keyframe (depends on animation-direction), and retain this during the animation-delay periodboth
- The animation will follow the rules for both forwards and backwards, extending the animation properties in both directions
The following example lets the <div> element retain the style values from the last keyframe when the animation ends:
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background: red;
position: relative;
animation-name: example;
animation-duration: 3s;
animation-fill-mode: forwards;
}
<html>
<head>
<style>
div {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background: red;
position: relative;
animation-name: example;
animation-duration: 3s;
animation-delay: 2s;
animation-fill-mode: both;
}
@keyframes example {
from {top: 0px; background-color: yellow;}
to {top: 200px; background-color: blue;}
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>Let the div element get the style values set by the first keyframe before the animation starts, and retain the style values from the last keyframe when the animation ends:</p>
<div></div>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> The animation-fill-mode property is not supported in Internet Explorer 9 and earlier versions.</p>
</body>
</html>
Animation Shorthand Property
The example below uses six of the animation properties
animation-name: example;
animation-duration: 5s;
animation-timing-function: linear;
animation-delay: 2s;
animation-iteration-count: infinite;
animation-direction: alternate;
}
The same animation effect as above can be achieved by using the shorthand
animation
property:
animation: example 5s linear 2s infinite alternate;
}
<html>
<head>
<style>
div {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background-color: red;
position: relative;
animation-name: example;
animation-duration: 5s;
animation-timing-function: linear;
animation-delay: 2s;
animation-iteration-count: infinite;
animation-direction: alternate;
}
@keyframes example {
0% {background-color:red; left:0px; top:0px;}
25% {background-color:yellow; left:200px; top:0px;}
50% {background-color:blue; left:200px; top:200px;}
75% {background-color:green; left:0px; top:200px;}
100% {background-color:red; left:0px; top:0px;}
}
</style>
