A Quick Peek at CSS Animation Properties


Web development is evolving rapidly, and so is the variety of technologies associated with it. Web development offers infinite possibilities, from static elements to dynamic elements that are required to create an experience. 


Did you wonder what text that fades or pops in and out, a link that animates when hovered, and a video that plays in the background all have in common? They all animate! It all depends on the kind of animation you want and how you want to use it. Choose your favorite and put it into practice!


Web apps and websites with CSS animation can be tested for cross-browser compatibility with LambdaTest. You can try your website on over 3000 different browsers, devices and operating system combinations using LambdaTest to look for cross-browser compatibility issues and ensure that your website's fallbacks are working correctly on browsers that don't support CSS Animation.


Animation Fundamentals


Simple animation only needs three components:


Keyframes: These must be defined and define the styles or appearance of the element.

Properties: These are the animation's associated keyframe properties.

Time: The length of the entire procedure


Properties related to @keyframes and animation


Following the definition of a keyframe, the animation sequence is configured in percentage terms to indicate the beginning and finish points of the animation. The typical start and finish values are 0% and 100%, respectively. These two can be swapped out for from and to. You can provide intermediate levels between 0 and 100, such as 25%, 68%, etc., and instruct the browser on what to do at each point.


A comma denotes the separation of numerous animations and keyframes for a single element.


  1. The animation name is an attribute that defines the name of the @keyframes animation. It's up to you to specify.

  2. The animation -duration property defines the time it takes for a CSS animation to complete one cycle. This value is specified in seconds and can be zero if the animation has no duration.

  3. The interval between the moment an element loads and the start of an animation sequence is known as the "animation delay."

  4. Animation-timing function is a CSS property that defines the speed at which the animation changes from one style or state to another. There are six values that can be used with this property: linear, ease, ease-in, ease-out, step-start, and step-end.

  5. The number of times an animation should be repeated is determined by the Animation-iteration-count parameter.

  6. The animation-fill-mode property defines values or styles performed by the animation before the sequence starts, after it has ended, or both. CSS Animations defines three options for the animation-fill-mode property: forwards, backward, and both.

  7. Animation-play-state allows us to control the playback of animation. The animation plays forward when it is set to running (the default state). If it is set to pause, the animation stops animating and doesn't take up any resources when the user is not viewing it.

  8. The direction of the animation is specified by the animation-direction attribute. It can be a value from constants such as alternate and normal, or it can be set to a direction value, such as top or left.

A Glimpse At CSS Animation And Its Sub Properties

CSS animation is a technique used to animate the elements in a website or application using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) rules. It allows developers and designers to add motion and visual interest to their web content, making it more engaging and interactive for users.   CSS animation is also known for animating certain HTML elements without using JavaScript or Flash. It involves using a set of keyframes, which define the animation's starting and ending states and any intermediate states. The animation is then controlled using the animation property and a bunch of animation properties, such as animation duration, animation iteration count, and animation-timing function.   To create a CSS animation, the first step is to define the keyframes for the animation using the @keyframes rule.    Once the keyframes have been defined, they can be attached to an HTML element using the animation property and the name of the keyframes. This will cause the element to animate accor...
