What is a CSS animation generator?

A CSS animation generator creates CSS keyframe animations that can be applied to HTML elements. It generates the @keyframes rule and animation properties needed to create smooth, animated effects on web pages.

How do I create a CSS animation?

Choose an animation type (fade, slide, rotate, scale, bounce, or custom), configure properties (duration, delay, iteration count, direction, easing), write or select keyframes, and the CSS code is generated automatically. Preview the animation in real-time.

What animation types are available?

Six types: Fade (opacity changes), Slide (position changes), Rotate (rotation transforms), Scale (size changes), Bounce (bouncing effects), and Custom (write your own keyframes). Each type has preset keyframes you can customize.

Can I customize animation properties?

Yes! Configure duration (how long the animation takes), delay (when it starts), iteration count (how many times it repeats), direction (forward, reverse, alternate), fill mode (how styles apply), and easing (timing function).

Keyframes define the start and end states (and intermediate states) of an animation. They specify what CSS properties change and at what point during the animation. The generator creates @keyframes rules automatically.

Is the CSS animation generator free?

Yes, completely free! No registration, no limits, no hidden fees. All CSS generation happens in your browser - we never see or store your code.

How to Use the CSS Animation Generator

Pick a preset (Fade, Slide, Rotate, Scale, Bounce) or edit the keyframes manually.
Adjust the animation name, duration, delay, iteration count, direction, easing, fill mode, and play state.
Watch the live preview update in real time as you tweak the parameters.
Copy the generated CSS code and paste it into your project’s stylesheet.

Tip: Rename the animation to something descriptive (e.g., hero-fade-in) before exporting.

Supported Animation Types

Visual Presets

Fade In / Fade Out
Slide In (Left / Right)
Rotate loops
Scale Up / Down
Bouncing motion

Custom Keyframes

Craft bespoke animations by mixing from / to or percentage-based keyframes. Add transforms, opacity changes, or any CSS property supported inside @keyframes.

Best Practices

Keep animations short (0.3s – 1s) for UI interactions to avoid sluggish interfaces.
Use ease-in-out for natural movement and linear for continuous loops.
Combine fill-mode: both with delays to keep elements in their final state.
Disable or reduce animations for users who prefer reduced motion (use the @media (prefers-reduced-motion) media query).
