CSS Animation Generator

Build CSS keyframe animations visually with live preview

Features

  • Visual builder for @keyframes + animation shorthand
  • Nine presets: fade, slide, bounce, pulse, shake, spin, zoom, swing, flip
  • Configurable duration, timing function, delay, iteration count, direction, fill mode
  • Output is valid CSS ready to paste into a stylesheet
  • Live preview that runs the animation in the page

How to use

  1. Select a preset animation or customize the keyframes.
  2. Adjust duration, timing function, and other animation properties.
  3. Watch the live preview and click Copy CSS when satisfied.

Tips & Best Practices

  • For accessibility, respect `prefers-reduced-motion: reduce` — wrap animations in a media query so users who set the OS preference get a static version.
  • GPU-accelerated properties (`transform`, `opacity`) animate smoothly; layout properties (`width`, `top`) cause repaints and stutter.
  • For looping animations, `animation-iteration-count: infinite` runs forever; for finite loops, set a specific number.
  • Animation delays stack with transitions — useful for staggered list entry animations.
  • For interactive animations on user input, prefer `transition` over `animation` — easier to compose and pause.
