Frequently Asked Questions

What types of CSS animations can I create with this tool?

You can create various types of animations including slide, fade, scale, rotate, bounce, pulse, shake, flip, zoom, and completely custom animations. Each type comes with customizable parameters like direction, duration, timing functions, and iteration counts.

How do I use the generated CSS code in my website?

Copy the generated CSS code and add it to your stylesheet. Then apply the "animated-element" class to any HTML element you want to animate. You can trigger animations on page load, hover, click, or any other event using JavaScript or CSS pseudo-classes.

Can I customize the timing and easing of animations?

Yes! The tool provides full control over animation timing including duration, delay, iteration count, direction, and timing functions. You can choose from predefined easing functions like ease, ease-in, ease-out, linear, or create custom cubic-bezier curves for unique motion effects.

What is the difference between the animation types?

Each animation type creates different visual effects: Slide moves elements from specified directions, Fade changes opacity, Scale grows/shrinks elements, Rotate spins elements, Bounce creates bouncing motion, Pulse creates subtle scaling effects, Shake creates horizontal movement, Flip rotates in 3D space, and Zoom creates dramatic scaling effects.

Can I create infinite or looping animations?

Absolutely! You can set animations to run infinitely by clicking the infinity (∞) button next to the iteration count. You can also control the direction with options like normal, reverse, alternate, and alternate-reverse to create seamless looping effects.

How do I create custom animations with my own keyframes?

Select "Custom" from the animation type dropdown and enter your own keyframe rules in the custom keyframes textarea. Use standard CSS keyframe syntax like "0% { transform: translateX(-100px); } 100% { transform: translateX(0); }" to define your animation steps.

Are the generated animations responsive and mobile-friendly?

Yes, the generated CSS animations are responsive and work across all modern browsers and devices. The animations use CSS3 properties that are well-supported and optimized for performance on mobile devices.

Can I preview animations before copying the code?

Yes! The tool includes a live preview area where you can see exactly how your animation will look. Click the "Play Animation" button to see your animation in action with all your custom settings applied.

What CSS properties does this tool generate?

The tool generates complete CSS including @keyframes rules, animation-name, animation-duration, animation-delay, animation-iteration-count, animation-direction, animation-timing-function, and animation-fill-mode properties. All code is optimized and production-ready.

Can I combine multiple animations or chain them together?

While this tool generates single animations, you can combine multiple generated animations by creating different keyframe names and applying them to different elements or at different times. You can also use animation delays to create sequential animation effects.

Is the generated CSS code browser-compatible?

Yes, the generated code uses standard CSS3 animation properties that are supported by all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. The code follows current web standards and best practices for maximum compatibility.

How can I optimize animations for better performance?

For best performance, use transforms (translate, scale, rotate) and opacity changes rather than animating layout properties. The tool generates optimized animations, but you can further improve performance by using shorter durations, reducing iteration counts, and avoiding animating too many elements simultaneously.
