CSS animation-iteration-count property
The CSS animation-iteration-count property specifies the number of times an animation should be played. By default, animations run once, but you can control how many times they repeat.
Syntax
selector {
animation-iteration-count: value;
}
Possible Values
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
number |
Specifies how many times the animation should be played (e.g., 1, 2, 3) |
infinite |
The animation will repeat forever |
Example: Finite Iteration Count
The following example shows an animation that runs exactly 3 times −
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
.box {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background-color: #FF6B6B;
position: relative;
animation-name: slideAnimation;
animation-duration: 2s;
animation-iteration-count: 3;
}
@keyframes slideAnimation {
from { left: 0px; }
to { left: 200px; }
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="box"></div>
</body>
</html>
A red box slides from left to right 3 times, then stops at the starting position.
Example: Infinite Animation
The following example shows an animation that runs continuously −
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
.infinite-box {
width: 80px;
height: 80px;
background-color: #4ECDC4;
border-radius: 50%;
animation-name: pulse;
animation-duration: 1s;
animation-iteration-count: infinite;
}
@keyframes pulse {
0% { transform: scale(1); }
50% { transform: scale(1.2); }
100% { transform: scale(1); }
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="infinite-box"></div>
</body>
</html>
A teal circle continuously pulses, growing larger and smaller in an endless loop.
Conclusion
The animation-iteration-count property gives you precise control over animation repetition. Use specific numbers for limited repetitions or infinite for continuous animations.
