CSS Animation Generator

Create CSS animations with a visual editor and copy the generated code.

What are CSS Animations?

CSS animations let you tween any animatable property — transform, opacity, color, filter, and dozens of others — between named keyframe stops, all without JavaScript. Compared to JavaScript-driven animation libraries they have two big advantages: the browser can offload them to the GPU compositor (so they don't block the main thread or jank your scroll), and they degrade gracefully on older browsers. The downside is that complex sequencing, scrubbing, and physics-based motion still belong in JavaScript (Web Animations API, Framer Motion, GSAP). For everything else — entrances, exits, hover states, status indicators, micro-interactions — @keyframes is the right tool. This generator builds the full @keyframes + animation shorthand visually with a live preview, then hands you copy-paste-ready CSS. Need colors for your motion? Try the Color Picker; need a gradient backdrop? Use the Gradient Generator.

How to use this tool

  1. 1
    Add keyframe stops
    Define property values at 0%, 100%, and any intermediate stops you need. Common targets: transform, opacity, background-color.
  2. 2
    Pick an easing curve
    Use a preset (ease, ease-in, ease-out, ease-in-out) or drag the cubic-bezier handles for a custom curve. Watch the live preview update.
  3. 3
    Set duration, delay, iterations, and direction
    Tune the timing. Use 'infinite' for loops and 'alternate' for ping-pong. Respect prefers-reduced-motion in production.
  4. 4
    Copy the generated CSS
    The output panel shows the @keyframes block plus the animation shorthand — paste straight into your stylesheet.

Frequently asked questions

What are CSS @keyframes?
@keyframes is a CSS at-rule that defines an animation's intermediate steps. You declare property values at named percentages (0%, 50%, 100% — or 'from' and 'to'), then attach the animation to an element with the 'animation' property. The browser interpolates between keyframes over the specified duration using the chosen easing function.
