Abstract: This CSS module describes a way for authors to animate the values of CSS properties over time, using keyframes. The behavior of these keyframe animations can be controlled by specifying their duration, number of repeats, and repeating behavior.

<h2 id="intro">
Introduction</h2>
<em>This section is not normative</em>
CSS Transitions [[CSS3-TRANSITIONS]] provide a way to interpolate
CSS property values when they change as a result of underlying
property changes. This provides an easy way to do simple animation,
but the start and end states of the animation are controlled by the
existing property values, and transitions provide little control to
the author on how the animation progresses.
This proposal introduces defined animations, in which the author can
specify the changes in CSS properties over time as a set of keyframes.
Animations are similar to transitions in that they change the
presentational value of CSS properties over time. The principal difference
is that while transitions trigger implicitly when property values change,
animations are explicitly executed when the animation properties are applied.
Because of this, animations require explicit values for the properties
being animated. These values are specified using animation keyframes,
described below.
Many aspects of the animation can be controlled, including how many times
the animation iterates, whether or not it alternates between the begin and
end values, and whether or not the animation should be running or paused.
An animation can also delay its start time.
<h2 id="values">
Values</h2>
This specification follows the CSS property definition conventions
from [[!CSS21]]. Value types not defined in this specification are
defined in CSS Level 2 Revision 1 [[!CSS21]]. Other CSS modules may
expand the definitions of these value types: for example [[!CSS3VAL]],
when combined with this module, expands the definition of the
<<length>> value type as used in this specification.
In addition to the property-specific values listed in their definitions,
all properties defined in this specification also accept the ‘initial’
and ‘inherit’ keyword as their property value. For readability it has
not been repeated explicitly.
<h2 id="animations">
Animations</h2>
CSS Animations affect computed property values. This effect happens by
adding a specified value to the CSS cascade ([[!CSS3CASCADE]]) (at the
level for CSS Animations) that will produce the correct computed value
for the current state of the animation. As defined in [[!CSS3CASCADE]],
animations override all normal rules, but are overridden by !important
rules.
If at one point in time there are multiple animations specifying behavior
for the same property, the animation whose name occurs last in the value
of 'animation-name' will override the other animations at that point.
An animation does not affect the computed value before the application of
the animation, before the animation delay has expired, and after the end of
the animation.
<figure>
<img src="./sandwich.png" alt="">
<figcaption>Computation of animated property values</figcaption>
</figure>
The diagram above shows how property values are computed. The intrinsic
style is shown at the top of the diagram. The computed value is derived
from intrinsic style at the times when an animation is not running and
also when an animation is delayed (see below for specification of animation
delay). During an animation, the computed style is derived from the
animated value.
The start time of an animation is the latter of two moments: the time at
which the style is resolved that specifies the animation, or the time the
document's load event is fired. Therefore, an animation specified in the
document style sheet will begin at the document load. An animation specified
on an element by modifying the style after the document has loaded will start
when the style is resolved. That may be immediately in the case of a pseudo
style rule such as hover, or may be when the scripting engine returns control
to the browser (in the case of style applied by script).
An animation applies to an element if its name appears as one of the
identifiers in the computed value of the 'animation-name' property. Once an
animation has started it continues until it ends or the 'animation-name' is
removed. The values used for the keyframes and animation properties are
snapshotted at the time the animation starts. Changing them during the
execution of the animation has no effect. Note also that changing the value
of 'animation-name' does not necessarily restart an animation (e.g., if a list
of animations are applied and one is removed from the list, only that animation
will stop; The other animations will continue). In order to restart an animation,
it must be removed then reapplied.
The end of the animation is defined by the combination of the
'animation-duration', 'animation-iteration-count' and 'animation-fill-mode'
properties.
<div class='example'>
<pre>
div {
animation-name: diagonal-slide;
animation-duration: 5s;
animation-iteration-count: 10;
}
@keyframes diagonal-slide {
from {
left: 0;
top: 0;
}
to {
left: 100px;
top: 100px;
}
}
</pre>
This will produce an animation that moves an element from (0, 0) to
(100px, 100px) over five seconds and repeats itself nine times
(for a total of ten iterations).
</div>
Setting the 'display' property to ''display/none'' will terminate any running animation applied
to the element and its descendants. If an element has a 'display' of ''display/none'', updating
'display' to a value other than ''display/none'' will start all animations applied to the element
by the 'animation-name' property, as well as all animations applied to descendants
with 'display' other than ''display/none''.
While authors can use animations to create dynamically changing content, dynamically
changing content can lead to seizures in some users. For information on how to avoid
content that can lead to seizures, see Guideline 2.3: Seizures: Do not design content
in a way that is known to cause seizures ([[!WCAG20]]).
<h2 id="keyframes">
Keyframes</h2>
Keyframes are used to specify the values for the animating properties at various points
during the animation. The keyframes specify the behavior of one cycle of the animation;
the animation may iterate one or more times.
Keyframes are specified using a specialized CSS at-rule. A <dfn>@keyframes</dfn> rule consists of the
keyword "@keyframes", followed by an identifier giving a name for the animation (which will
be referenced using 'animation-name'), followed by a set of style rules (delimited by curly
braces).
The keyframe selector for a keyframe style rule consists of a comma-separated list of
percentage values or the keywords ''from'' or ''to''. The selector is used to specify the
percentage along the duration of the animation that the keyframe represents. The keyframe
itself is specified by the block of property values declared on the selector. The keyword
''from'' is equivalent to the value ''0%''. The keyword ''to'' is equivalent to the value ''100%''.
<span class="note">Note that the percentage unit specifier must be used on percentage values.
Therefore, ''0'' is an invalid keyframe selector.</span>
If a ''0%'' or ''from'' keyframe is not specified, then the user agent constructs a ''0%'' keyframe
using the computed values of the properties being animated. If a ''100%'' or ''to'' keyframe is not
specified, then the user agent constructs a ''100%'' keyframe using the computed values of the
properties being animated. If a keyframe selector specifies negative percentage values or values
higher than ''100%'', then the keyframe will be ignored.
The keyframe declaration block for a keyframe rule consists of properties and values. Properties
that are unable to be animated are ignored in these rules, with the exception of
'animation-timing-function', the behavior of which is described below. In addition, keyframe rule
declara

tions qualified with !important are ignored.
Issue: Need to describe what happens if a property is not present in all keyframes.
The @keyframes rule that is used by an animation will be the last one encountered in sorted rules
order that matches the name of the animation specified by the 'animation-name' property. @keyframes
rules do not cascade; therefore, an animation will never derive keyframes from more than one
@keyframes rule.
Note: Since empty @keyframes rule are valid, they may hide the keyframes of those
preceding animation definitions with a matching name.
To determine the set of keyframes, all of the values in the selectors are sorted in increasing order
by time. If there are any duplicates, then the last keyframe specified inside the ''@keyframes'' rule
will be used to provide the keyframe information for that time. There is no cascading within a
''@keyframes'' rule if multiple keyframes specify the same keyframe selector values.
If a property is not specified for a keyframe, or is specified but invalid, the animation of that
property proceeds as if that keyframe did not exist. Conceptually, it is as if a set of keyframes is
constructed for each property that is present in any of the keyframes, and an animation is run
independently for each property.
<div class='example'>
<pre>
@keyframes wobble {
0% {
left: 100px;
}
40% {
left: 150px;
}
60% {
left: 75px;
}
100% {
left: 100px;
}
}
</pre>
Four keyframes are specified for the animation named "wobble". In the first keyframe,
shown at the beginning of the animation cycle, the value of the 'left' property being
animated is ''100px''. By 40% of the animation duration, 'left' has animated to ''150px''.
At 60% of the animation duration, 'left' has animated back to ''75px''. At the end of the
animation cycle, the value of 'left' has returned to ''100px''. The diagram below shows
the state of the animation if it were given a duration of ''10s''.
<figure>
<img src="./animation1.png" alt="">
<figcaption>Animation states specified by keyframes</figcaption>
</figure>
</div>
The following is the grammar for the keyframes rule:
<pre>
keyframes_rule: KEYFRAMES_SYM S+ IDENT S* '{' S* keyframes_blocks '}' S*;
keyframes_blocks: [ keyframe_selector '{' S* declaration? [ ';' S* declaration? ]* '}' S* ]* ;
keyframe_selector: [ FROM_SYM | TO_SYM | PERCENTAGE ] S* [ ',' S* [ FROM_SYM | TO_SYM | PERCENTAGE ] S* ]*;
@{K}{E}{Y}{F}{R}{A}{M}{E}{S} {return KEYFRAMES_SYM;}
{F}{R}{O}{M} {return FROM_SYM;}
{T}{O} {return TO_SYM;}
</pre>
<h3 id="timing-funtions">
Timing functions for keyframes</h3>
A keyframe style rule may also declare the timing function that is to be used as the animation
moves to the next keyframe.
<div class='example'>
<pre>
@keyframes bounce {
from {
top: 100px;
animation-timing-function: ease-out;
}
25% {
top: 50px;
animation-timing-function: ease-in;
}
50% {
top: 100px;
animation-timing-function: ease-out;
}
75% {
top: 75px;
animation-timing-function: ease-in;
}
to {
top: 100px;
}
}
</pre>
Five keyframes are specified for the animation named "bounce". Between the first and second
keyframe (i.e., between 0% and 25%) an ease-out timing function is used. Between the second
and third keyframe (i.e., between 25% and 50%) an ease-in timing function is used. And so on.
The effect will appear as an element that moves up the page 50px, slowing down as it reaches
its highest point then speeding up as it falls back to 100px. The second half of the animation
behaves in a similar manner, but only moves the element 25px up the page.
</div>
A timing function specified on the ''to'' or ''100%'' keyframe is ignored.
See the 'animation-timing-function' property for more information.
<h3 id="animation-name">
The 'animation-name' property</h3>
<pre class='propdef'>
Name: animation-name
Value: <<single-animation-name>>#
Initial: none
Applies to: all elements, ::before and ::after pseudo-elements
Inherited: none
Animatable: no
Percentages: N/A
Media: visual
Computed value: As specified
Canonical order: per grammar
</pre>
<dfn><single-animation-name></dfn> = none | <<custom-ident>>
The values of 'animation-name' have the following meanings:
<dl dfn-type=value dfn-for=animation-name>
<dt><dfn>none</dfn>
<dd>
No keyframes are specified at all, so there will be no animation.
Any other animations properties specified for this animation have no effect.
<dt><dfn><<custom-ident>></dfn>
<
77FB
/div> <dd>
The animation will use the keyframes with the name specified by the <<custom-ident>>,
if they exist.
If no such keyframes exist,
there is no animation.
</dl>
<h3 id="animation-duration">
The 'animation-duration' property</h3>
The 'animation-duration' property defines duration of a single animation cycle.
<pre class='propdef'>
Name: animation-duration
Value: <<time>>#
Initial: 0s
Applies to: all elements, ::before and ::after pseudo-elements
Inherited: no
Animatable: no
Percentages: N/A
Media: visual
Computed value: As specified
Canonical order: per grammar
</pre>
<dl>
<dt><dfn value for=animation-duration><<time>></dfn>
<dd>
The <<time>> specifies the length of time that an animation takes to complete one cycle.
A negative <<time>> is invalid.
If the <<time>> is ''0s'', like the initial value,
the keyframes of the animation have no effect,
but the animation itself still occurs instantaneously.
That is, 'animation-fill-mode' applies as normal,
filling backwards or forwards as appropriate,
and animation events still fire.
</dl>
<h3 id="animation-timing-function">
The 'animation-timing-function' property</h3>
The 'animation-timing-function' property describes how the animation will progress over
one cycle of its duration. See the 'transition-timing-function' property [[!CSS3-TRANSITIONS]]
for a complete description of timing function calculation.
<pre class='propdef'>
Name: animation-timing-function
Value: <<single-timing-function>>#
Initial: ease
Applies to: all elements, ::before and ::after pseudo-elements
Inherited: no
Animatable: no
Percentages: N/A
Media: visual
Computed value: As specified
Canonical order: per grammar
</pre>
The values and meaning of <dfn><single-timing-function></dfn>
are identical to those of <<single-transition-timing-function>> [[!CSS3-TRANSITIONS]].
The timing function specified applies to each iteration of the animation,
not the entire animation in full.
For example, if an animation has ''animation-timing-function: ease-in-out; animation-iteration-count: 2;'',
it will ease in at the start,
ease out as it approaches the end of its first iteration,
ease in at the start of its second iteration,
and ease out again as it approaches the end of the animation.
Note: Unlike other animation properties,
'animation-timing-function' has an effect when specified on an individual keyframe.
See <a section href="#timing-functions"></a> for more detail on this.
<h3 id="animation-iteration-count">
The 'animation-iteration-count' property</h3>
The 'animation-iteration-count' property specifies the number of times an animation cycle
is played. The initial value is ''1'', meaning the animation will play from beginning to end
once. This property is often used in conjunction with an
'animation-direction' value of ''alternate'', which will cause the animation to play in
reverse on alternate cycles.
<pre class='propdef'>
Name: animation-iteration-count
Value: <<single-animation-iteration-count>>#
Initial: 1
Applies to: all elements, ::before and ::after pseudo-elements
Inherited: no
Animatable: no
Percentages: N/A
Media: visual
Computed value: As specified
Canonical order: per grammar
</pre>
<dfn><single-animation-iteration-count></dfn> = infinite | <<number>>
<dl dfn-type=value dfn-for=animation-iteration-count>
<dt><dfn>infinite</dfn>
<dd>
The animation will repeat forever.
<dt><dfn><<number>></dfn>
<dd>
The animation will repeat the specified number of times.
If the number is not an integer,
the animation will end partway through its last cycle.
Negative numbers are invalid.
A value of ''0'' is valid and,
similar to an 'animation-duration' of ''0s'',
causes the animation to occur instantaneously.
</dl>
<h3 id="animation-direction">
The 'animation-direction' property</h3>
The 'animation-direction' property defines whether or not the animation should play in reverse
on some or all cycles. When an animation is played in reverse the timing functions are also
reversed. For example, when played in reverse an ''ease-in'' animation would appear to be an
''ease-out'' animation.
<pre class='propdef'>
Name: animation-direction
Value: <<single-animation-direction>>#
Initial: normal
Applies to: all elements, ::before and ::after pseudo-elements
Inherited: no
Animatable: no
Percentages: N/A

Computed value: As specified
Canonical order: per grammar
</pre>
<dfn><single-animation-direction></dfn> = normal | reverse | alternate | alternate-reverse
<dl dfn-type=value dfn-for=animation-direction>
<dt><dfn>normal</dfn>
<dd>
All iterations of the animation are played as specified.
<dt><dfn>reverse</dfn>
<dd>
All iterations of the animation are played in the reverse direction
from the way they were specified.
<dt><dfn>alternate</dfn>
<dd>
The animation cycle iterations that are odd counts are played in the
normal direction, and the animation cycle iterations that are even
counts are played in a reverse direction.
<dt><dfn>alternate-reverse</dfn>
<dd>
The animation cycle iterations that are odd counts are played in the
reverse direction, and the animation cycle iterations that are even
counts are played in a normal direction.
</dl>
Note: For the purpose of determining whether an iteration is even or odd,
iterations start counting from 1.
<h3 id="animation-play-state">
The 'animation-play-state' property</h3>
The 'animation-play-state' property defines whether the animation is running or paused.
<pre class='propdef'>
Name: animation-play-state
Value: <<single-animation-play-state>>#
Initial: running
Applies to: all elements, ::before and ::after pseudo-elements
Inherited: no
Animatable: no
Percentages: N/A
Media: visual
Computed value: As specified
Canonical order: per grammar
</pre>
<dfn><single-animation-play-state></dfn> = running | paused
<dl dfn-type=value dfn-for=animation-play-state>
<dt><dfn>running</dfn>
<dd>
While this property is set to ''running'',
the animation proceeds as normal.
<dt><dfn>paused</dfn>
<dd>
While this property is set to ''paused'',
the animation is paused.
The animation continues to apply to the element with the progress it had made before being paused.
When unpaused (set back to ''running''),
it restarts from where it left off,
as if the "clock" that controls the animation had stopped and started again.
</dl>
<h3 id="animation-delay">
The 'animation-delay' property</h3>
The 'animation-delay' property defines when the animation will start. It allows an animation
to begin execution some time after it is applied,
or to appear to have begun execution some time <em>before</em> it is applied.
<pre class='propdef'>
Name: animation-delay
Value: <<time>>#
Initial: 0s
Applies to: all elements, ::before and ::after pseudo-elements
Inherited: no
Animatable: no
Percentages: N/A
Media: visual
Computed value: As specified
Canonical order: per grammar
</pre>
<dl>
<dt><dfn value for=animation-delay><<time>></dfn>
<dd>
The <<time>> defines how long of a delay there is between the start of the animation
(when the animation is applied to the element via these properties)
and when it begins executing.
A delay of ''0s'' (the initial value) means that the animation will execute as soon as it is applied.
A negative delay is <strong>valid</strong>.
Similar to a delay of ''0s'', it means that the animation executes immediately,
but is automatically progressed by the absolute value of the delay,
as if the animation had started the specified time in the past,
and so it appears to start partway through its play-cycle already.
If an animation's keyframes have an implied starting value,
the values are taken from the time the animation starts,
not some time in the past.
</dl>
<h3 id="animation-fill-mode">
The 'animation-fill-mode' property</h3>
The 'an
132F
imation-fill-mode' property defines what values are applied by the animation
outside the time it is executing. By default, an animation will not affect property
values between the time it is applied (the ‘animation-name’ property is set on an
element) and the time it begins execution (which is determined by the 'animation-delay'
property). Also, by default an animation does not affect property values after the
animation ends (determined by the 'animation-duration' and 'animation-iteration-count' properties).
The 'animation-fill-mode'property can override this behavior.
<pre class='propdef'>
Name: animation-fill-mode
Value: <<single-animation-fill-mode>>#
Initial: none
Applies to: all elements, ::before and ::after pseudo-elements
Inherited: no
Animatable: no
Percentages: N/A
Media: visual
Computed value: As specified
Canonical order: per grammar
</pre>
<dfn><single-animation-fill-mode></dfn> = none | forwards | backwards | both
<dl dfn-type=value dfn-for=animation-fill-mode>
<dt><dfn>none</dfn>
<dd>
The animation has no effect when it is applied but not executing.
<dt><dfn>forwards</dfn>
<dd>
After the animation is done executing
(has played the number of times specified by its 'animation-iteration-count' value)
it continues to apply the values that it ended its last complete iteration with.
This will be the values specified or implied for either its ''100%'' or ''0%'' keyframe,
depending on the direction that the last complete iteration was executing in
(per 'animation-direction').
If the animation didn't complete an entire iteration
(if the iteration count was ''0'' or a value less than 1)
the values specified or implied for its ''0%'' keyframe are used.
Note: If 'animation-iteration-count' is a non-integer value,
the animation will stop executing partway through its animation cycle,
but a forwards fill will still apply the values of the ''100%'' keyframe,
not whatever values were being applied at the time the animation stopped executing.
Issue: Why does it ignore the progress made by a non-integer iteration count?
Issue: What happens with ''animation-duration: 0; animation-iteration-count: infinite;''?
The animation is instantaneous,
but there is no "last complete iteration".
In particular, you can't tell whether to use the 0% or 100% keyframe.
<dt><dfn>backwards</dfn>
<dd>
Before the animation has begun executing
(during the period specified by 'animation-delay'),
the animation applies the values that it will start the first iteration with.
If the 'animation-direction' is ''normal'' or ''alternate'',
the values specified or implied for its ''0%'' keyframe are used;
if the 'animation-direction' is ''reverse'' or ''alternate-reverse'',
the values specified or implied for its ''100%'' keyframe are used.
<dt><dfn>both</dfn>
<dd>
The effects of both ''forwards'' and ''backwards'' fill apply.
</dl>
<h3 id="animation">
The 'animation' shorthand property</h3>
The 'animation' shorthand property is a comma-separated list of animation definitions. Each item in
the list gives one item of the value for all of the subproperties of the shorthand, which are known
as the animation properties. (See the definition of 'animation-name' for what happens when these
properties have lists of different lengths, a problem that cannot occur when they are defined using
only the 'animation' shorthand.)
<pre class='propdef'>
Name: animation
Value: <<single-animation>>#
Initial: see individual properties
Applies to: all elements, ::before and ::after pseudo-elements
Inherited: no
Animatable: no
Percentages: N/A
Media: visual
Computed value: As specified
Canonical order: per grammar
</pre>
<dfn><single-animation></dfn> = <<time>> || <<single-timing-function>> || <<time>> || <<single-animation-iteration-count>> || <<single-animation-direction>> || <<single-animation-fill-mode>> || <<single-animation-play-state>> || <<single-animation-name>>
Note that order is important within each animation definition: the first value in each
<<single-animation>> that can be parsed as a <<time>> is assigned to the 'animation-duration',
and the second value in each <<single-animation>> that can be parsed as a <<time>> is assigned to
'animation-delay'.
Note that order is also important within each animation definition for distinguishing
<<single-animation-name>> values from other keywords. When parsing, keywords that are valid for
properties other than 'animation-name' must be accepted for those properties rather than for
'animation-name'. Furthermore, when serializing, default values of other properties must be
output in at least the cases necessary to distinguish an 'animation-name' that could
be a value of another property, and may be output in additional cases.
<div class="example">
For example, a value parsed from ''animation: 3s none backwards''
(where 'animation-fill-mode' is ''animation-fill-mode/none''
and 'animation-name' is ''animation-name/backwards'')
must not be serialized as ''animation: 3s backwards''
(where 'animation-fill-mode' is ''animation-fill-mode/backwards''
and 'animation-name' is ''animation-name/none'').
</div>
<h2 id="events">
Animation Events</h2>
Several animation-related events are available through the DOM Event system. The start and
end of an animation, and the end of each iteration of an animation, all generate DOM events.
An element can have multiple properties being animated simultaneously. This can occur either
with a single 'animation-name' value with keyframes containing multiple properties, or with
multiple 'animation-name' values. For the purposes of events, each 'animation-name' specifies
a single animation. Therefore an event will be generated for each 'animation-name' value and
not necessarily for each property being animated.
Any animation for which both a valid keyframe rule and a non-zero duration are defined will run
and generate events; this includes animations with empty keyframe rules.
Issue: This contradicts the 'animation-delay' section,
which says that a ''0s'' duration animation still fires events.
The time the animation has been running is sent with each event generated. This allows the event
handler to determine the current iteration of a looping animation or the current position of an
alternating animation. This time does not include any time the animation was in the ''paused''
play state.
