How to use the CSS Animation Gallery
The CSS Animation Gallery is a free tool that lets you preview 100+ CSS animations plus 3D showcases, sliders, carousels, and hover effects, and copy the CSS/HTML with @keyframes in one click. No external libraries, no signup. This page covers how to pick, adjust, and understand the animation types.
How to use it (3 steps)
- Pick an animation: choose a motion from the list (filterable) or the showcases at the bottom (3D flip card, cube, carousel, etc.) and check it in the preview.
- Adjust speed and easing: in the sidebar "Settings", change the duration, easing, iteration count, and autoplay. Changes apply to the preview instantly.
- Copy the code: use the "Copy this code" button to copy the CSS with
@keyframesonly, or HTML+CSS, and paste it into your page.
Main types of CSS animation
The animations in this gallery fall into two broad groups: basic keyframe animations, and 3D / slider-style showcases.
| Type | Motion | Common use |
|---|---|---|
| Fade | Changes opacity to show/hide | Element entrances, drawing attention |
| Slide | Moves into place | Menus, notifications, modals |
| Bounce | Springy up/down or scaling | Emphasizing buttons and icons |
| Rotate | Spins the element | Loading states, icon effects |
| Scale | Changes size | Hover emphasis, pop-in |
| Hover effects | Active only on :hover | Button and card interactions |
| 3D (flip / cube / coverflow, etc.) | Depth-based rotation and flipping | Card galleries, product showcases |
| Slider / carousel / marquee | Flows or switches horizontally | Slideshows, logo / partner strips |
Adjusting the copied code
The copied CSS can be tuned mainly with the following properties. Whatever you set in the tool's settings panel is reflected directly in the code.
animation-duration: how long one cycle takes (e.g.1s). Larger is slower.animation-timing-function: the easing (ease/linear/cubic-bezier(...)), which sets the acceleration curve.animation-iteration-count: how many times it repeats (1+, orinfinitefor an endless loop).@keyframes: the motion itself. It is included in the copied code, so you can fine-tune the values.
