Frequently Asked Questions
Is this CSS Animation Generator free?
Yes, completely free with no registration required. Create unlimited animations and copy the code for personal and commercial projects.
What is the difference between CSS animations and transitions?
CSS transitions animate a change from one state to another (like hover effects), while CSS animations use keyframes to define complex multi-step animations. Animations can run automatically, loop infinitely, and have more control over timing and direction.
How do I use animations with Tailwind CSS?
Switch to Tailwind CSS output to get the configuration code for your tailwind.config.js. Tailwind includes built-in animations like animate-spin, animate-pulse, and animate-bounce. You can also use arbitrary values and add custom animations to your config.
What is a timing function?
A timing function (easing) controls the speed of an animation over time. "Ease" starts slow, speeds up, then slows down. "Linear" maintains constant speed. "Ease-in" starts slow and speeds up. "Ease-out" starts fast and slows down. Custom cubic-bezier values give you precise control over the animation curve.
What does fill mode do?
Fill mode determines what styles apply before and after the animation. "Forwards" keeps the final state after animation ends. "Backwards" applies the initial state during any delay period. "Both" combines both behaviors. "None" (default) returns to original styles after animation.
Can animations affect performance?
Yes, some CSS properties are more expensive to animate. For best performance, animate only "transform" and "opacity" properties as they are GPU-accelerated. Avoid animating "width", "height", or "margin" as they trigger expensive layout recalculations. Use "will-change" sparingly to hint the browser about upcoming animations.
