Flip In X Animation Effect with CSS
The CSS Flip In X animation effect creates a 3D flipping motion where an element rotates along the X-axis while appearing on the page. This animation starts with the element rotated 90 degrees and invisible, then flips into view with a bouncing effect.
Syntax
@keyframes flipInX {
0% { transform: perspective(400px) rotateX(90deg); opacity: 0; }
40% { transform: perspective(400px) rotateX(-10deg); }
70% { transform: perspective(400px) rotateX(10deg); }
100% { transform: perspective(400px) rotateX(0deg); opacity: 1; }
}
.flipInX {
animation-name: flipInX;
animation-duration: 1s;
}
Example
The following example demonstrates the Flip In X animation effect applied to a colored box −
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
.animated {
width: 200px;
height: 100px;
background-color: #3498db;
margin: 50px auto;
border-radius: 10px;
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
color: white;
font-weight: bold;
animation-duration: 1s;
animation-fill-mode: both;
}
@keyframes flipInX {
0% {
transform: perspective(400px) rotateX(90deg);
opacity: 0;
}
40% {
transform: perspective(400px) rotateX(-10deg);
}
70% {
transform: perspective(400px) rotateX(10deg);
}
100% {
transform: perspective(400px) rotateX(0deg);
opacity: 1;
}
}
.flipInX {
backface-visibility: visible !important;
animation-name: flipInX;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="animated flipInX">Flip In X</div>
<button onclick="location.reload();">Replay Animation</button>
</body>
</html>
A blue box with "Flip In X" text appears with a 3D flipping animation, starting from a 90-degree rotation and settling into place with a subtle bounce effect. The animation lasts 1 second.
Key Properties
| Property | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
perspective() |
400px | Creates the 3D depth for the rotation effect |
rotateX() |
90deg to 0deg | Rotates the element around the X-axis |
backface-visibility |
visible | Ensures the element remains visible during rotation |
opacity |
0 to 1 | Controls the fade-in effect during animation |
Conclusion
The Flip In X animation creates an engaging 3D entrance effect by combining rotation transforms with opacity changes. The bouncing motion at keyframes 40% and 70% adds a natural, dynamic feel to the animation.
