Frequently Asked Questions
What CSS animation properties are supported?
Our tool supports all CSS animation properties: animation-name, animation-duration, animation-timing-function, animation-delay, animation-iteration-count, animation-direction, animation-fill-mode, and animation-play-state. You can also use the shorthand animation property.
Can I use custom easing functions?
Yes! You can use all standard easing functions (ease, ease-in, ease-out, ease-in-out, linear) as well as cubic-bezier() functions for custom easing curves.
How many keyframes can I create?
You can create as many keyframes as needed. The tool supports multiple @keyframes rules and complex multi-step animations.
Can I preview multiple animations at once?
Currently, the preview area shows one animated element. However, you can apply multiple animations to the same element using comma-separated values in the animation property.
Is there a limit on animation duration?
No limits! You can set any duration from milliseconds to hours. However, for preview purposes, very long durations might not be practical to watch in real-time.
Can I save my animations?
You can copy the CSS code and save it in your project. We're working on a save/load feature for future updates.
