Whether you're building interactive web interfaces, adding micro-interactions, or creating engaging visual effects, this tool provides all the controls you need to craft perfect animations without writing code manually.

Built with performance in mind, the generator creates optimized CSS animations that work seamlessly across all modern browsers. All animations are processed client-side, ensuring your creative work remains private and secure. The tool supports advanced features like custom timing functions, multiple keyframes, and complex transform combinations.

Perfect for web designers, frontend developers, and anyone working on user interface animations. From simple fade effects to complex multi-step animations, create professional-quality CSS animations that enhance user experience without compromising performance.

How to Use the Animation Generator

1

Configure Animation Properties

Set your animation name, duration, timing function, delay, and iteration count. Choose from preset timing functions or use custom cubic-bezier curves for precise control over animation easing.

2

Design Keyframes

Add and customize keyframes using the visual editor. Adjust transform properties like scale, rotation, translation, opacity, background colors, and border radius for each keyframe percentage.

3

Preview and Adjust

Watch your animation play in real-time in the preview area. Customize the preview element shape and size, pause/play the animation, and make adjustments until you achieve the perfect effect.

4

Export and Share

Copy the generated CSS code to your clipboard or download it as a file. Share your animation via URL with colleagues, or save different variations for later use.

Animation Examples

Button Hover Animation

Frequently Asked Questions

What CSS properties can I animate with this generator?
The generator supports all major CSS transform properties (translate, scale, rotate), opacity, background-color, and border-radius. These properties provide smooth, hardware-accelerated animations that work efficiently across all devices and browsers.
How do I add custom timing functions?
The tool includes several preset timing functions including cubic-bezier curves. You can select from options like ease-in-out, or use custom cubic-bezier functions for precise easing control. Each timing function affects how the animation progresses between keyframes.
Can I create multi-step animations with multiple keyframes?
Yes! You can add unlimited keyframes at any percentage point from 0% to 100%. Each keyframe can have different property values, allowing you to create complex multi-step animations with precise timing control.
Are the generated animations browser compatible?
The generated CSS uses standard @keyframes syntax supported by all modern browsers. The animations work in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge without requiring vendor prefixes or polyfills.
How do I apply the generated animation to my HTML elements?
Copy the generated CSS and add it to your stylesheet. Apply the animation to any element by adding the class name (e.g., "animated-element") to your HTML element. You can also modify the animation properties directly in the CSS as needed.
Can I control when animations start and repeat?
Yes! The generator includes controls for animation delay (when it starts), iteration count (how many times it repeats), direction (normal, reverse, alternate), and fill mode (what happens before and after animation).
What's the difference between the animation presets?
Each preset represents a common animation pattern: Bounce adds scale and vertical movement, Fade In changes opacity, Slide In combines translation with opacity, Rotate spins the element, Pulse scales up and down, and Shake creates horizontal movement. Use them as starting points for custom animations.
How can I optimize animation performance?
The tool generates animations using transform and opacity properties, which are hardware-accelerated for smooth performance. Avoid animating layout properties like width/height, and prefer shorter durations for frequently triggered animations. Use 'will-change: transform' in CSS for complex animations.
